I see the Hornady .264" 140 gr A Max has the highest BC .585! I need to buy more bullets for it. It shot two 140 gr Match Kings into one hole at 100 yds today. The rifle is an old M70 Westerner with a 3-9 Conquest. | ||

If it shoots match kings that well I'd try some Game kings and see how they shoot. They always worked well for me on deer. | |||

Ditto with Nosler 140 grain Accubond. They will sure down a white-tailed deer, too!!!! I really want to try the new Hornady's. May the wind be in your face and the sun at your back. P. Mark Stark | |||

The .264 Win Mag and 125 grain Partitions are a match made in heaven! | |||

I run two 264's, a old win 70 that shoots the 125 partitions better than anything else. Also the 130 TSX shoots good in it but accuracy wise the partitions are a little bit better. both perform good on game. The other winchester is a featherweight and Im using the Aussie Copper Projectiles in 120. These are performing well. Cheers Mick | |||

Not the same caliber, but I tried both 140gr Accubonds & 139gr Hornady Interbonds in my 280 that was loaded to 3150 fps Mv. The Accubonds had a slight edge in accuracy, but the Interbonds were far superior in terminal ballistics. Here is a 139gr .284 Interbond that passed through a 200# Whitetail diagonally after impacting the scapula at an angle from about 25 yds. It was lodged under the skin on the off side hind leg.   Accubonds shed too much of the mushroom & left large entry wounds but small exit wounds leaving poor blood trails. The deer usually ran a short distance on broadside lung hits. With the Interbonds they were DRT. Nosler's theory is that a large mushroom impedes penetration. Seems like the large mushroom of the Interbond at 86% weight retention still had plenty of penetration. I would expect similar results in .264 bullets of the same type.

My 264 loves 125 Partitions, too! | |||

To be fair, aren't you comparing apples and oranges with the biggest variable being point of impact? What I am hearining is that you are comparing one traversing body shot versus multiple thorasic lung shots? Don't get me wrong, I think Hornady's are great bullets and I cannot wait to try the new ones. May the wind be in your face and the sun at your back. P. Mark Stark | |||
