Default RE: .264 Winchestern Westener ?

set up right for long range one is as good as the other, the advantage goes to the 264, due to higher velocities and better BC bullets, but it also costs ya barrel life. I shoot a 6.5 Gibbs, ( 270 necked to 6.5 and the shoulder pushed foreward to give max powder capacity) it does quite well to about 900 yards but I'm running 140's at 3250 fps from a 29.5" barrel.

I have 3 1/2 boxes of ammo that I'll sell you cheap if you want to pick it up in LA.

one is as good as the other in my opinoin but 264 might carry a little more smokeout past say350 yards. but a 270 is alot more practiable
