[QUOTE="Longtooth32, post: 1535510, member: 89326"] I was in on this thread in the initial pages... More info and I still think that the 264 Win Mag guys can get more speed out of their cartridge...was this a 264 thread or a 6.5 Win Long Range Mag thread...:) Anyways... I have a belted case (old stuff), with a Weatherby shoulder (old style), and headspaced off a really short case gauge...Barloc barrel bolt... I have a ton of 270 Wby brass and I did this "just because"... Built a 6.5x257Wby with a fast twist (1-8), 28" barrel With a Magnetospeed on the end of my barrel...I topped out with an ave speed of 3427fps with a Sierra 150gr Match King. ES was 27 with a 10 shot group...RL26 Yes...that was an ave speed of 3427fps with a ten shot group with a 150 Sierra... Going to back off a bit on the speed...Got a good node @ 3378fps... Seems like the 26 Nosler may need some work and our "old" belted cases may still have some relevance... [/QUOTE]
