[QUOTE="SRHeer, post: 1272644, member: 61077"] After looking at Weatherby's 6.5x300 Mag and Browning's 26 Nosler - I like the 26 Nosler round and from experience I can say Browning's X bolt rifles are good. Are there any other 6.5 heavys being made out there or in production that have a 1/8 inch barrel twist? I will be wanting to try the 140 - 160 grn bullets for elk hunting. I will want to be able to buy over counter ammo but also now have some reloading equipment. Several reasons why I like the 26 Nosler verses the 6.5 Wby - as per some it should not be quite the barrel burner - both rifle and ammo are less expensive at Browning and the 26 Nosler looks to be a bit more efficient Does anyone have field reports of how these calibers have performed on Elk? And how do these calibers handle the heavier 6.5 grn bullets (150-160) with any field or range reports? [/QUOTE]
