.264 Win mag or 270 Weatherby mag. or 6.5 rpm ?

Would like to hear your thoughts on these 3 calibers ! I want to build a hunting rifle that I can carry . Does not need to be a super lite weight! It will not be for target shooting . Find a load, sight in,use it for two or three hunts a year.Steel barrel is fine. I kinda like my carbon barreled rifle I have though. Your thoughts and responses appreciated

I really like 270 wby. Right now I run a 124 hammer hunter with reloder 23 a touch over 3600 mv. For a set it and forget it type of rifle; that provides one hell of a nice long point blank range.
I have no qualms with the other 2 choices.

Thank you that's very good to know sir!

Howdy, anytime someone puts 264 Wm. as a choice, that's my recommendation. From your write up you reload, another plus for 264. Now barrel twist, I can only guess that Weatherby put a 8 twist in there RPM. The other two need 8 twist barrel installed. Easy button is RPM and buy 4 or 5 boxes of shells for brass. Merry Christmas.

Thanks

If you're building I say screw the 6.5 anything and do the .270 weatherby with the standard weatherby freebore BUT an 8 twist or something like that.
