[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 942984, member: 63138"] I don't think there are too many, other than gun writers, who have much experience with the 26 Nosler. I read a couple of articles. Guns and Ammo and Shooting Times. As gun writers do, they seem to love new stuff and the 26 Nosler is no exception. They did some load testing and had a few 1 shot kills. From their data I figure you could crank a 140 grain pill up to 3,500 fps or so with RL-33 and that would make it the king of the 6.5mm hill by a good margin That also would equal the standard muzzle energy from a 7mm RUM which would be pretty impressive if in fact it could be done. On the down side, 26 Nosler brass costs $2.64 per case (Midway USA) and this chambering is expected to be seriously hard on the barrel. Nevertheless, I've got one in the works. I'm waiting on the reamer but should have it put together and out to the range within a couple of months - in plenty of time to get it tuned for hunting season. [/QUOTE]
