[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1105132"] Not arguing just clarifying (from my POV) I'm not going to build or by a 26-Nosler but I've built 270, 284, 308 and 338. Not news. Of course I am going to add the 8mm. My belief based on the above is the xx-Nosler exceeds the STW (sorry STW lovers) at the same pressures but only by a little bit. If you like STW, there is no reason to switch. As for fatter, only in so much as the difference between belted case and non-belted. To convert a Wby Mark V in 338 WinMag to 338/26-Nosler all that is required is to rechamber it. The width is the same. Some receiver designs will require minor adjustment but not much. My R700 based 28-Nosler was built on an action that was originally 300 RUM. Rechambered a 7mmRemMag barrel and good to go. The 270/27-Nosler is built on a 270 action, traded the bolt for a mag bolt and rechambered the 270 barrel. Still working on feeding. Just being careful opening up the feed rails to the same as the RUM .556" straight. [/QUOTE]
