[ROCKJAG4]

what is the PARENT case for the 26 NOSLER?? P.T.&G. has reamers to neck it up or down.just thinking of a new rifle. thanks to all that can help.

From a Field & Stream article:

The 26 Nosler (no decimal point) is based on a shortened (.30/06-length) version of the .404 Jeffrey case, blown out and with a short neck and sharp shoulder.

It is a (30-06) length of a .404 Jeffery with heavy mods to its shape.

Google , what is the parent case of the 26 nosler and it is a field & stream article which is short and concise. It will drive a 140 grain bullet to 3300 FPS.

Seems like I read somewhere that you could make 26 Nosler cases out of 7 RUM or 300 RUM. They are all based on the .404 Jeffery

so then how can a 28 nosler that MCWORTER RIFLE IS BRAGING ABOUT be any better than a 7mm rum. ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS.??

It's probably slightly cheaper to shoot (less powder) and may have a longer barrel life. Other than that, it could be more accurate due to less recoil which causes some people to flinch and a better shoulder angle. It also will headspace off of the shoulder instead of the case belt which can lead to better accuracy.

The 26 Nosler holds 35% more powder than the 264 Winchester Magnum... which, itself, is no slouch in the barrel burning department.

With a volume of 93 grains, barrel life through a 6.5mm bore should be in the neighborhood of 400 to 500 rounds. By the time you work up a load, you need a new barrel.

7MM RUM. HEADSPACES OFF THE SHOLDER. MAYBE U READ MY POST TO FAST.

I'm going to wildcat that puppy to a 17-26 Nosler shooting solids. If I can get the bullet down the barrel without melting it, I figure I can get the velocity up around 5200. I'll start out with a 32 inch barrel and set it back every 50 rounds.

17-26 Nosler, Now that is interesting !!

 

[wboggs]

I bet you could get around 5000 with a .224 bullet and have a better selection of bullets. Think about it, 5000 vs 5200, what is the difference?

 

[mshelton]

Split the difference and go for a .20/

If you cant find a load in 500 rounds, you should probably try something different

Yeah, at least not under that name. He's still here and just as condescending, sarcastic and know it all as ever. I'll leave it up to the readers to figure out the new name. It's not that difficult.
