Latest Nosler Offering : The 26 Nosler

Actually looks alright......


"Nosler announced a new rifle cartridge that will formally launch at the 2014 SHOT Show. The 26 Nosler is being billed as the “World’s Most Powerful 6.5mm Commercial Cartridge.” The new cartridge will push a 129 grain AccuBond Long Range bullet at 3400 fps. With the same bullet, the 26 Nosler will have the same velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington would at the muzzle.

looks a bit like a RUM thats 200 thou short

7mm Blaser case?

Would the rifle need a longer barrel then most?

The reamer prints I have show it to be bigger than the Blaser, the same size as the WSM/Rum in the arse end.

So basically a long WSM or short Rum :)

Did you not read that litz book I sent ya mate?

Is it not reinventing the 6.5 Win mag with a decent barrel length ?

I wonder what rifles it will be chambered in and if those chambers will have a really long throat aka the weatherbys.

Also remember reading a review of a Nosler custom rifle with nosler custom ammo that was way way slow of advertised velocity's.

Still neat to have another factory cal and one that hand loading would possibly bring out the best in.

Neat to have another case to build off.

I don't think I'll trade the .264 magnum anytime soon. 61 grains of N560, 3100 fps with the 140 amax with a 23 " barrel.

Lol even in the pictures that 6.5 is going sideways bro

Can't we just make rifles with the throat made out of some really resilient material?
