[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2029904, member: 10178"] Been shooting a 264 Win mag for a few years. If you are just target shooting it will be ok or if you are hunting and can be assured your shots are going to be over 200 yards on game then use a Berger. If you get a shot at game with the Berger at the high velocity of the 264 Win mag with a 26+ inch barrel at the closer range those things really come apart especially if shoulder bone is hit. I chose the Nosler 130 gr Accubond out of my 27 3/4" Shilen barreled 264 Win mag. With Retumbo it averages 3350 fps and even on shots as close as 25 yards it holds together and exits. It exhibits the same expansion results on deer the same at 25 as it does a touch over 500 yards so far for me. The Berger is a very accurate flat shooting bullet but they just destroy too much meat for my liking in every caliber I have shot game with them. But to each his own. To make the 264 Win mag do it's thing you need 26+ inch of barrel and use SLOW powders like Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
