[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 962531, member: 2460"] I agree with you to a point if you run the new Nosler case with a bullet seated to the base of the neck then case capacities are pretty close to equal, on the same token I can seat bullets to same neck depth and case cap gain remains at 9 grains and that is substantial the pic I posted shows both cartridges with bullets seated to the same length at 3.340", a Nosler cartridge oal for the 26 Nosler.. with the 160 gr Matrix more than half of the bullet hangs below the case neck/shoulder junction , same thing will occur with the 7mm 195 gr or 308 230 gr bullets, the best solution would be to forgo the 3.340" max length and run the 26 Nosler based wildcats in a 300 RUM action, THEN you have something ! I have owned several 300 RUMs since the first year they came out and same with the 300 WSM's , excellent cartridges in their own right and I also think that the 26 Nosler case is an excellent base for necking up to 7mm, 308 and up ( when you bypass the standard length superiority nonsense ) I guess I can cut the necks off the 26 Nosler and 6.5 PRO for a water weight test to confirm actual case h20 capacity differences [/QUOTE]
