[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 949489, member: 2736"] +! There are many ways to up the velocity on a caliber, and pressure is one of them. It seems like any more velocity is king. and normally at the cost of other things like pressure, case life, barrel life, action life ETC. All of the "New" cartridges are higher pressure (65,000 Psi +) because of claims of better steel and production process. Over 50 years ago some rifles were being tested to 170,000 Psi, so steel must have been pretty good then. Its all about sales, and velocity sells no matter what the other issues may be. Designer cartridges come and go with the fad, good cartridges just last and last over decades. Great cartridges stay forever because they have so many attributes and very few issues if any. The 26 Nosler is not the fastest in the bullet weight class, so it is not the flattest in class, but it may not burn barrels as its big brothers ether, so it may last, who knows. In my experience, when you push a bullet faster you get more problems than attribute's. there is no free ride. I personally will wait and see how it does before I go out and buy or build one. Just some comments, Not intended to offend anyone. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
