[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1647811, member: 104268"] Seems like the consensus is to go with the 264, which is where I was leaning. Will be doing some research, but in my "dream world", I'd like to get the 147 ELD (or wallet forbid, the A-Tip) going around 2950-3000 in a 24" barrel. From what you've all said, this should be easily doable at less than max. Seems like typical COAL for the 264 is shorter than the 300WM, despite the same SAAMI maximum. If this is the case, then I'll likely rebarrel my savage, as it only has a 3.5" mag box, which limits the 300WM to single loading. Maybe I can keep a 264 in the 3.5" mag, and still be able to run near the lands if needed. Could someone measure the OAL and tip length of the 147 ELD and/or 153 A-Tip (unlikely, I know) if you have one? Would be nice to get some numbers on stability for twist rate. [/QUOTE]
