Will a one in nine twist in a 264 win mag stabilize a burger 130 gr. VLD? Thanks.

    A friend of mine is looking fot a 264 win mag and so far he has found three but has a hard time choosing which one. There are 2 really nice winchester model 70's one is a classic super grade and the other it a featherlight. The third one is a remington model 700 bdl. If it were me I would get the classic super grade. Any input?

    I was lining in my 264 yesterday and I put one of my old spanish notebooks behind the cardboard bow I was shooting at. I shot through the notebook which was about 2 1/2 inches thick and the bullet opened up about 1.5 time the original diameter. I am using a Hornady 100 gr SP in front of 56.4 gr of IMR 4320 , and Federal 215 Magnum Match rifle primers that chronograph 3561 fps. I intended to use these bullets for deer, but didn't count on the bullet opening up that much. My main concern is the bullet hitting a deer and just blowing up without much penetration. I still want the ballistics of the 100 gr but I want pass through shots. Has anyone tried the 100 gr Nosler partitions? What are the results?

    Had a gunsmith friend of mine tell me years ago that out of the box... a 700 Rem was the most accurate weapon. We are NOT talking indiviual weapons, but as an average lot.Good Luck! ...Mark

    Hey 11 I have found the same thing Remingtons shoot better than winchesters, I got bull headed last year and went through 4 winchesters before I got one to shoot good. they were all used ones, so didn't get hurt to bad, But I have had enough Winchesters.

    Remington 700 hands down...I have one in .30-06 and another in .264 Win Mag...they are both absolute tack drivers!

    He has a model 700 in 243. He is mainly buying it for value and looks. As long as it will kill a deer... My experience with a model 70 is good. I have one in 222 and it will out shoot my 270 and 243 model 700. I think the super grade is a looker compared to the 700.

    I had a post 64 Model70 in 264 mag that would shoot 5 shot groups @100 into 1" with Winchester factory ammo. My pre 64 SWIFTwill shoot handloads into an inch @200yds-you can keep your Remington 700's.
