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?

    If I had to guess, I'll bet any 100 grainer is gonna be a little lightly built at those speeds. You might back off on the load or go to the heavier bullets. That's a lot of speed.

    I think you better go with the 120 grain Barnes X if you want to use that light of a bullet. Or the 125 Nosler Partition.

    I agree with AGLORE, The barnes X bullet would be a very good choice.
