[QUOTE="Trooper1, post: 2756277, member: 115799"] I bought a 264WM while waiting for a 280 Ackley to get finished. It is a Model 70 Extreme Weather with the 9 twist barrel. It shot Nosler 130 Accubonds very well out of the gate. Because (unfortunately) I live in the People’s Republik, I need to use all copper - so I grabbed a box of 121 Hammer Hunters and loaded them up. It loves those things! Fast and accurate! I was going to rebarrel to an 8 twist Bartlien, but it’s shooting so well, there’s no reason. For deer and antelope, it’s perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it up to elk, as long as I could call the shot. As far as a 7 mag, with the 280 Ackley nipping its heels - with less powder and recoil - no desire to get one. I also have a 300 WM, if I need something with more punch. My personal limit is 500 yards for any game animal. As a few others posted, it depends on what you’re going to use it for. But all being said - I love my 264! [/QUOTE]
