6.5
zachary,i have used the 264 win mag with 26 in barrel for some time now.
i have the win model 70 with the claw extractor.this caliber has gotten a lot of bad press as an over bore and a barrel burner.most of which is unfounded.the experts will tell you that its demise was due to the 7mm rem mag popularty.it is easer on barrels then all of the new short magnums and rifles like the lazzeronis and the ultra mags,and most of these are more overbored then the 6.5win mag.and throat erosion is no longer an issue with the new stainless actions! this is the flatest shooting 6.5 on the market,with exception to the lazzeroni 6.5 which most folks can`t afford,and the ammo is very costly.i use conley loads with 140grs
at 3,200fps .this setup will safely take elk out to 500+ yds! and kick is less then my /06!
