Haven't had a deer hold one yet.

Thanks for the followup on the 140 NBT.

But, 3,200 fps is pretty fast, 140's in the .264.

140's at 3,200 fps is about Kosher for the 26 Nos, a bigger case.

Wonder what PSI's you're generating, the .264 at 3,200 fps?

What load are you using?

Guys, I'm still reading about the 26 N and I'm NOT knocking it. I'm simply comparing and considering...

For many years (since the 80s) I've been shooting 139 HBTSP in the 7 RM and using IMR 4350 I'm getting 3300 fps and good case life.

140 6.5 (264)--3200
....................1/2 mm-.020
139 7mm (284)--3300

The BC of the 6.5 will (I think) show up at extended range but I'm wondering how many of us would actually hunt/shoot at ranges long enuff to benefit ?
