[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 959214, member: 9551"] My original testing with Magnum went as high as 72.5 gr in the 6.5 WSM. The brass could not take that load but it got me 3287 fps at 12 feet with a 26 inch barrel. Two of the three barrels and shooters have found Magnum not as accurate as Retumbo. The third barrel and shooter is using Magnum in the 6.5 WSM. I would be excited about 140 gr and 160gr Woodleigh bullets in the 26 Nosler. I think the lighter bullets should be in the realm of lesser cartridges. I would be sure to nitrocarburize my barrel in 26 Nosler. Otherwise you will eat out the throat before you empty a box of bullets. I like to shoot a lot at the range so I have 4 6.5 barrels that are nitrocarburized. I also run HBN coating. I find the first shot goes where the scope points. Yesterday the first shot out of a clean barrel was 3211 fps and the second shot was 3213. Try that without HBN. [/QUOTE]
