264 win mag

Geri

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?

thr caliber 264 win mag how good are they when comes to elk, muledeer and bigger game, not whitetail deer?

nononsense

Geri,

Yes.

I'm shooting a couple different 130 VLD's in a .264 WM and it stabilizes them down to 2600 FPS at the muzzle.

I also shoot those same bullets in a 6.5x47 Lapua at 2950 FPS at the muzzle and they are superbly accurate at 600 yards.

Best.

Thank you. Have a great week end.
