I have and use a model 70 EW 264 and it has a 26" barrel. Rifle was new in 2015. I have used the 127LRX and found the rifles best accuracy with Ramshot Magnum powder with a Federal 215M primer. I shot a cow elk in 2016 and the bullet didn't work to my expectations so I abandoned it for Swift Siroccos. I still find the best accuracy with Ramshot Magnum powder.
