I agree with avoiding the .264. Unless you handload, the .264 mag is way too expensive to shoot, burns barrels, recoils too much, and give questionable accuracy.
However, since you said you don't handload I would also recommend against the .257 Roberts. It is a great cartridge but ammo availability is spotty and limited. For the same performance and recoil, you would do much better with some of the more available calibers like .260REM, 7mm-08, or even the 6.5x55.
