Against my better judgement, I am getting the hots to build a 264MG.

I want a long range cartridge for South Texas deer hunting. What I have read in the literature the last 40 years has been mixed. Some say it is the best thing since "sliced bread". Other have written that it is notorious barrel burner that will almost burn a barrel even before you find a good load.

What do you guys think about a 26inch 264 Mag. GOOD ROUND OR A BAD CHOICE?

Look forward to hearing what you think?
