PRDATR Report post Posted January 23, 2014 I've been waiting for SAAMI to review it. 129gr @ 3400FPS and PBR of a little over 400 yards. Speculation is it was built off the 400 Jeffrey or 375 Ruger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Barrel life has to be, shall we say, on the low side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 23, 2014 I have a 6.5 WSM. Looks like the velocity is about 200 fps faster with this 26Nosler as I am getting 3200fps with 130 grainers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Yep barrel life should be short but probably more than adequate when used as a hunting rifle. Shouldn't be any worse than these large RUM cartridges that people like so much. Just makes me wonder why they wouldn't opt to produce a high BC 140 grain bullet when they had to know they had this cartridge in the works. I will pick a 140 over a 130 every time no matter how inflated the BC is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pwrguy Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Little bullet traveling reaallllly fast. It will burn barrells. To many other good choices to get excited about this one. I wish Nosler would just produce more of the bullets they already have, I have yet to lay my hands on the .30 cal 210ALR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
308Nut Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Looks like a great cartridge for those that can't afford laser rangefinders. It's been rumored that they'll offer a higher BC 140 than the 140 ballistic tip and accubond they already offer at some point. I'm guessing it'll be a while since that can't seem to produce much of what they announced a couple of years ago. I'm with pwrguy on this one. Too many other good choices to get excited about this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many other good choices to get excited about this one. Exactly! Back in the day I loaded the STW hot with 120s to try to keep my "hold right on em" distance as long as I could. These days that's just silly, range, dial, shoot. You can even do it with a .308!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
