If this rifle were chambered for the .257 Weatherby, and it shot like it does as a .264, I'd like it just as well (I think).

I had to see for myself if .264 bullets bounce off deer...they don't (this one shot with a 120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip, about 125 yards, about 3300 fps at the muzzle; bullet found under hide on opposite side. DRT.)
