[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 913997, member: 22069"] I really think you will need to wait and see how all of this turns out. The reality is that not much is really known about how the .26 Nosler actually performs. Bear in mind that the .264 WM is already a VERY overbore cartridge. Newly available powders are just now able to take the WM to its full potential in a 26" barrel. Though I would expect the .26 Nosler to offer some performance advantage over the WM because of its advantage in case capacity, just how much of an increase remains to be seen. Another question is what barrel length will be necessary to take full advantage of the cartridge. Personally, I'm not willing to go much over 26" on a rifle intended for field use. [/QUOTE]
