26 Nosler

What is the parent case for this round?

Supposed to be the 404 Jeffrys. Initially, a lot of people thought it was the 375 Ruger.

I just told my brother (hotrod) when his savage 270 wsm barrel goes he could re-barrel it in one of these.

26 Nosler solves a problem that doesn't exist. If you need a hot 6.5, I'd be more inclined to a 6.5-06AI. I dig my 260 and it ties knots with 108 Scenars. I'd guess you'll wanna be in 140 mode, so twist accordingly. 6.5WSM is another hot ticket....

The best part about the 6.5-06AI is how well it feeds.

Feeding would be the main problem with the 6.5wsm imo. Otherwise it would be one I would have to build.

I'd take the extra round in the mag as well. If 140gr is the bullet de jour, I don't think BC gets any better than in a 6.5.
