BC of 0.561 and that much velocity, that thing will gooooo.

Mich wrote:Hi guys,
My first post here. Chiming in to say I've had a deposit paid on a Nosler M48 rifle chambered in 26 Nosler and am finally picking it up next week
This will be a mid-longe range hunter and hopes are high for it. I'll be back with feedback.

Not to mention there are existing cartridges which cover it anyway.
I can see some perks to it, but no huge advantages that make it a clear winner.
And that barrel life...

short fat? nah, a strong ignition will engulf most of the powder column anyway... and for hunting, give me a long slick feeding tapered round, not a short fat abruptlt shaed shoulder / neck.....
MPBR with 5.5inch rise at 100m doesnt sound right.... 11inch based PBR? even too much for moose isnt it, i'd be thinking no more than 6inches- I might have to 'run some numbers' on that one...

Chronos wrote:"The .26 Nosler cartridge was designed to take advantage of the inherently accurate and high B.C. 6.5mm (.264) caliber bullets, and is capable of shooting the Nosler 129 grain, AccuBond Long Range bullet at a blazing 3400 fps out of the muzzle. Zeroed at 350 yards, the .26 Nosler has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards. Loaded with the 129 grain ABLR, the .26 Nosler retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington produces at the muzzle. "
I misread the table, it's actually a 350y zero ,
Trajectory: -1.5" at muzzle, +3.81" at 100 yards, +5.47" at 200 yards, +2.98" at 300 yards, +/- 0" at 350 yards, -4.24" at 400 yards, -16.87" at 500 yards
