I just never could get myself to buy a 264 Win Mag because I think the 7mag is a little better.I can get 3200fps with a 150gr Ballistic Tip,my favorite bullet for deer and 3100fps with a 160gr Accubond,another great bullet.Brass is easier to find,great selection of bullets in the 7mm and if you buy shelf ammo,prices for that is cheaper too.I have four 7mags,all are great shooters and they all will shoot the same load very well.
I could never get to 3100/160 in any 7mm Rem Mag (24") "until" I used a 26" barrel and R26. R33/175NP got to an easy 3030fps. I like the "idea" of the .264WM, I have a good friend who has used the same, 24" Mod 700 since 1979. He usually shoots factory 140 clkt...a 24" .270 is probably going faster, ha, but he has killed " a huge pile" of deer/hogs with it. I "want" a Weatherby 6.5 RPM!!!
