The 26 is a very good LR round, the velocity is a real asset fighting cross winds, bullet gets there quicker than conventional.

It's an effective round, well engineered and thought out.

JB bought the one he tested, sold his .264 WM.

The 26 thrives on ultra slow powder like US869 and WC872.

It's not for everyone, but is very nice to those who appreciate such. I like mine, my hunting buddy likes his.
