[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1668437, member: 9551"] My first two rifles were 1959 Model 70s in .264 Win Mag. What is wrong with the .264 Win Mag is the size of the case and the neck. If you are going to carry around only 26 inches of barrel, you can use a 6.5 WSM and actually get more velocity. If you are going to carry around 28 inches of barrel and shoot 150, 156 or 160 gr bullets, (probably a 7 twist barrel) the .264 Win Mag with Reloader 33 will amaze you. Bartlein, I was one of their first and most frequent customers, says a 26 Nosler is good for a couple of hundred rounds. The 6.5 WSM is good for triple that. If you shoot coated bullets and nitrocarburize the barrel, you can double that again, 1200 rounds. [/QUOTE]
