ORIGINAL: AJ52
I took a muley once with a 264 that belonged to a buddy.That is/was one bad ass round.I hear the barrels are short lived.
When this round came out powders that burned slow enough were not available,now they are .I own two rifles in this caliber ,One is a model 70 with a 6.5 to 20 leopold scope it easily stays under an inch at 300 yards.The other is a Ruger model 77 with a 4.5 to 14 leopold scope its not the shooter the winchester is but it is he!! on whitetails.
Both of these rifles have hundreds of rounds thru them with no wear.
