[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1637483, member: 11960"] I think the barrel life issue in the 26 Nosler is a bit over stated. I’ve played with a few different barrels now chambered for a 6.5x338 Rum improved which has about a 15gr capacity advantage over the 26 Nosler. One barrel was burned up in about 200 shots by intentionally pushing it hard trying to get light bullets as fast as possible. The others were all treated much nicer and all did or still are performing well after many more rounds. The over bore chamberings aren’t intended to be shot all the time. Get a load dialed in and practice with it a couple times every year, but have a different gun available for extended range sessions. The average hunter will easily get 10 years of useful barrel life out of a 26 Nosler. [/QUOTE]
