In the April Handloader, Terry Weiland's article "In Defense of Belts" loses track of the title's stated subject, and decries 6.5 MM's in general, and the new 26 Nosler in particular, despite not having any experience with it, and says the .264 Winchester Magnum is obsolete.
Of course there is no definition of obsolete that would satisfy many at the fire, but I hold that the .264 Winchester Magnum is still one of the finest long range options out there for Western Game.
Some of the finest hunters I know carry nothing else in the field for Moose, Deer, Bear, Elk, Goats, Sheep, and Antelope. And any of the various 264's would kill the same range of game.
Would anyone here refuse to hunt because they were going to have to use a .264?
If you have one of these pieces of junk laying around and want to offload it fast PM me.
