Stick with 140 gr. partitions or x bullets in that .264 for better long range accuracy and penetration. You will love the round my son has one on the way also.

The 140 Gr. Partition works great in the .264 as does the 130 x bullet. They hold together way better than the lighter bullets and off better penetration also. I have used them for 20 years with no gripes on game up to elk and kudu size.

What Brad said!!!!!!!

For all the hunting I have left to do, and hopefully that will include one more plains game trip, I will stick with a hotrod 6.5 of some kind. They have performed well for me all my life and I don't think I will be switching anytime soon.

Don't think there is a big enough buck there to get me down there! enough of our $ go there anyway w/o my support!

current baby is a 6.5x.284. Does all I ask of it with good bullets from elk to black bear.

I think I saw that pic last year about this time, claiming to be from Utah.

Looks like some great eating there!!! I did not score this last fall and my grocery bill sure shows it!! congrats!

My son hit a bull this pat year at about 300 yds in the hip pocket from the rear. The 125 Gr. partition shattered the pelvis at the joint on the rigt side . Bull got up and requireed a finisher at about 10 feet. We could not have asked much more of this bullet. I really want to try the...

I have used a 6.5-.284 here in the west for the last several years with great results. My son has used a .260 with almost the same results. I highly reccomend either of these rounds for general hunting. The .260 will to attain the velocity of the other but seems to have just as good effect on...

Another vote here for bonded .264. Possibly a bonded 6mm?????????

6.5x.284 is the latest favorite. several one shot kills on elk and a great lang range deer getter. All with x bullets and partitions. Also great on whistle pigs with 100 gr. bullets.

just 1 on a n ass shot on a kudu. It went in about 1" to the rt of the tail and penetrated over 30" of kudu. He needed a finisher but I was pleased with it's performance.

On my one and only plains game trip I used x bullets on everything from Gemsbok to Eland in a .264 . I would not hesatate to use partitions but you want a tough bullet that will penetrate well. Enjoy your hunt !!

6.5x.284 and 6x.284 for just about anything the last few years.

from my experiences with by's on deer I would not think of using them on something as large mas an elk even a small one!! I have seen repeated penetration shortfalls with this bullet on deer and elk. Several of my hunters have chosen this bullet in the past and we have seen repeated problems in...

I have seen 6-7 cow elk taken with this bullet. Most inside 200 yards and on broadside shots it seems to work rather well. I would not want to hit any big bone with though.

I carry a CDP daily. You almost cannot do any better for the $. It always works, is accurate and carries really nicely almost anywhere, anytime. Beats the hell out of a 220 in my opinion.

I gave my son a .260. He has had it about 5 years now and his tally is 3 elk, 2 bucks, 3 hogs and one antelope. He shoots 125 Gr. partitions and has never asked for more gun.

Rogerlee, I live in DeBeque and you should see the bucks on the winter range right now! There are some real busters running around. If you come back here let me know. Maybe I can point you in some new direction for area to hunt. Where from town were you hunting?
