Well. Couldn't contain myself. The sweet little p64 264 is now in my hands. and it is just as Drummond advertised. Actually, it's a little too nice for me. I'm more of a shooter than a collector. So I prefer to find them with a few scratches and maybe an aftermarket pad.
But this one will get hunted, just hunted very gently.
My plan is to use 4350 to push 125 PT's to about 3000fps, which the 264 can obviously do without breaking a sweat. That should put it right in between the 130gr 270 and the 120gr 25/06...just abut perfection for south Texas deer. without too much bark from the 22" barrel.
Thanks, Drummond for lightening my wallet.
