26 Nosler
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 11:18 am
Hi all
I'm surprised a thread hasn't been started yet about the new 26 Nosler.
Yeah, yeah. Barrel burner, blah blah blah... My interest in it is as a source of quality brass for necking up.
The internet has suggested it is based on the 375 Ruger or 404 Jeffrey, although the rim does appear to be slightly rebated ( http://www.gundigest.com/ammunition-rev ... e-unveiled ), so maybe it is like a shortened Ultra mag.
375 Ruger cases have approximately 100 grains of water capacity that's supposed to be ideal for a 30 cal, but the Hornady brass is not great.
Some people consider Nosler brass expensive, but in my experience it is very consistent and worth the money for a heavy gun.
Regards
Ben
