2001年5月2日 · I like the 26 Nosler for what it is; a cartridge that'll knock down deer size game way the heck out there without a long time of flight for the bullet. I wouldn't beat on the barrel any more than my rum's (7mm and 300) or stw. I do put a heck of a lot of rounds on those rifles at times though, and the bores are holding up very well.

2017年3月12日 · I just built a 26 Nosler on Rem 700 platform. 26" barrel and been using 127 LRX. Still testing to find a load. My current load is 91grs. US869 (Max load) with the 127 LRX, and getting good ES but groups have been inconsistent. Going to rest and again see what happens. \ I agree the powder is dirty even when at max loads.

2010年10月29日 · The .26 Nosler doesn’t do much more than any of the smaller “big” .264’s if it does any more at all. It’s running high pressure and using a 28” barrel. Published data for most other cartridges is running lower pressure from shorter barrels.

2018年11月3日 · For mule deer on down, the .264 caliber is certainly enough bullet, especially with modern designs. While a 28 Nosler will obviously also work on mule deer, etc., it definitely won't be as fast and flat as the 26 Nosler can be. If elk is on the menu, then the 28 Nosler is probably a better choice, but you give up some "fast and flat" to get there.

2012年10月1日 · The 26 nosler will fire 140 gr bullets at blistering speeds and Nosler brags that there is no hold over out to 400 yards. But with that blistering speed and no hold over, comes short barrel life. That is where the 257 and the 25-06 will out do the 26 Nosler. You can get a lot more rounds down the tube before burning the barrel out in a 257 or ...

2016年3月26日 · Nosler has data on their website for the 26 Nosler. I'm going to start there with my brothers new rifle, once he gets it scoped. Only difference I can see is that the new manual I have (Nosler Reloader 8) drops max 1-2 grains for the 140-142 Accubonds. I have both the 142 Accubond and 143 ELD-X. They measure exactly the same for length.

2019年8月4日 · The velocities from the 26 Nosler are kind of underwhelming....in a 26" 7.5 twist .264 win mag using basic federal brass and the 156 Bergers, I didn't have any pressure signs until 69 grains of Retumbo, going 3172 fps, still no bolt lift increase or cratered primers, just a very faint ejector mark, then at 70 grains had first signs of light increase in bolt lift and a more obvious …

2020年1月1日 · I will definitely keep this in mind. I have heard mixed opinions about Berger bullets for hunting. I have had good luck with the Barnes in all my rifles and out of the 4 bullets I have tried ( 127gr LRX, 129gr Nosler lrab, 142gr Nosler lrab, and, 129gr Double tap long range) the 127gr LRX by far were the most accurate but all of that was purchased ammo, Nosler …

2021年8月22日 · From Nosler's data the 26 is a good deal faster with 120's and a bit faster with 140's, but more powder down a tiny bore will cost you in barrel life as well. I'd rather have a 6.5 PRC I can shoot without feeling too guilty than a 26 Nosler I hesitate to practice with at the range.

2017年4月29日 · I finally found a load in my 26 nosler that shot sub .5 moa at 100 yards. I am using 140 Berger VLDs and Retumbo as my charge. The load is on the hotter side but no sticky bolt, some slight primer puckering, chrono read 3370 as the average which honestly surprised me because this is near starting load according to bergers data.
