[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 979289, member: 12660"] For hunting...and only hunting...maybe 25 rounds per year, counting sight in verification...the 26 would last a long, long time...a life time maybe, at least 40 years even with full power loads. Figure out how much you want to shoot it per year...make your decision based on that...any of the rounds you mention will serve the purpose of hunting just fine. Also...if you reload...you can tone the Nosler down and extend the barrel life considerably...it can be loaded to last as long as any, but the others cannot be loaded to do what it can do. Ramshot Magnum is a good powder in the 26 according to Nosler...being a ball powder, should be easier on the barrel...also noted as the most accurate powder tested by Nosler in the 26. [/QUOTE]
