? I'm fifty one years old and shoot a .204 Ruger and .220 swift. I have nanosecond fps already.

3400fps is slow compared to them, but offers a great deal of appeal with 140gr high bc bullets.

Can't wait to see the parent case and load data long with reamer specs

When you close the video link you can scroll down.

It looks like it's loosely based on the 375 Ruger.

You know its all well and good we have this high BC bullets at a high velocity. I shoot a 6x284 and even though we have these fast movers ,you still need to be spot on for range and windage estimation. Comparing this to a 264 mag or other existing flat shooters its just a few less elevation clicks. I shoot a fast bbl 7wsm that pushes 162 gr A-maxes at 3165 Average. When I'm out in the NV desert and the desert switch back winds kick up ,rather that waste bullets its best to pack up go home watch Gilligans island on TV.

Has anyone got a handle on the parent case yet ?

Is it the 375 Ruger, or maybe 300 Blaser Magnum ?

The Blaser brass is made by Norma so it fits nicely.

Here ya go... the 404 Jeff... WR's link in post #13

The new Nosler cartridge utilizes a non-belted case based on the classic .404 Jeffrey (after numerous reforming modifications), and will fit standard .30-06-length actions. The company has announced that it will also make rifles chambered for the new .26 Nosler.

American Hunter - .26 Nosler

If it has a .532 rim, it must be rebated... almost a necked down 300 Dakota

New 26 Nosler Cartridge: The Flattest-Shooting 6.5 Ever? | Gun Digest

Some good info in the link.

 

[HuntFarther]

Dave at pacific tool and guage told me it is the .404 but shortened to 06 length.

Do they already have specs to make reamers and reloading dies?

 

[HuntFarther]

It sounded like a deal with gunwerks where they are holding the rights. I could not get a lot of info from them.

 

[HuntFarther]

I just called over and asked a gal I deal with a lot and she is selling reamers and I will have the prints shortly whatever that is.

If Nosler indeed submitted the 26 Nosler to SAAMI, then cartridge/chamber drawings should be available soon. As I understand it, the submission was back middle of last year.

However, SAAMI has yet to post drawings on their site...
