[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 293701, member: 505"] I agree with fifty on this one. The 264 winchester, 7mm rem mag, 338 winchester, the old norma mags, the 257, 270 and 7mm wby, and several others are all the same case basically with a bit different shoulders. The 264 winchester would be the way to go. Why go to the expensive wby brass when a 264 winchester is the same thing. The 264 winchester is an excellent round and I love to shoot mine. I thought you were talking about the 6.5-300 wby wildcat and it would be an excellent choice if you want velocity. I have been doing those since the 70's and it is a great performer. When the 8mm rem mag case came out I started necking it to 264 and was the same thing on cheaper, easier to get brass. It is now called the STW after wildcatters had tremendous success with it for years. The 264 STW is one of my all time favorites for long range deer, antelope, caribou, etc. I have mine ready right now for caribou and antelope this year. The 130 grain swift scirroco at over 3500 fps with I think a .571 BC shoots very well at long range and is an excellent big game bullet. Also the 140 bergers with the high BC shoot very well. The 264 is an excellent caliber to work with. I have had quite a bit of experience with all the calibers fifty mentioned except his proprietary ones. He is shooting straight with you and telling it like it is. Including the 257 hot tomale. 3800 fps would be closer than the 4100 in a safe pressure load. [/QUOTE]
