[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1103633"] I wanted to wait to see where this went. 26-Nosler vs 6.5 STW, both "barrel burners" so nothing will be saved. Both will achieve accuracy under precision smithing and loading. There are so many other 6.5 chamberings it boggles the mind. If it were me.... Since the rifle is already a "magnum" bolt face, it you want less "barrel burner" characteristics. I would go with a smaller magnum for which brass is available. 264 or 6.5WSM both have brass available. Both have dies available. Both have reamers available. Your smith probably has a 264 reamer. Both will like the longer magazine for seating long. last Even though I do not prefer belted magnums, your action is already set up for belted magnums so that would the 264 in front of the WSM but for me, I like the WSM.
