Have been shooting the 264 mag since 1964. Still have my Rem 700 264 ( 23 1/2" stainless Bbl. ) bought new in 1964 & still shoots great.. Since the Barnes "X" came out & now the TSX the 120gr has been my bullet of choice. When used in any of our 6.5's it gives complete penetration. The 264 mag with one of the ultra slow powders will drive the Barnes 120gr TSX at 3450 to 3500fps from a 26" Bbl. 3400+ from a 24" Bbl. It will drive this 120gr TSX bullet completely thru an elk even at an acute angle. Used to use the Nosler 140gr partition at 3200+ but have found the Barnes 120gr TSX will out penetrate it. A tough deep penetrating bullet properly placed will always bring an elk down.
