I just bought my first 264 caliber rifle after nearly 40 years of shooting and hunting. The rifle is a first year production(1958) Model 70 Westerner with a 26" barrel.
Im primarily a whitetail deer hunter and my longest possible shot on my property is 258 yards. I zero in 2" high @ 100 yards and can hold dead on anywhere i see a deer. Ive killed 3 deer already with Remington 140 gr Cor-lokt factory loads with dramatic one shot poleaxed results.
My question is what bullets and powders are you using to get similar results on game weighing 200 pounds and less. Being an old fart i prefer they fall in their tracks and not run off. Saves me lotsa effort.
Ive not sworn allegiance to any weight or maker of bullet. I just want to know what loads CONSISTANTLY provide similar results.
