I'm not a 1,000 yd. hunter, 4-500 yds. is a long shot for me.

It seems that Nosler built the 26 around their 129 ABLR bullet, and that may be the optimal projectile for this round.

Seeing how the 129 ABLR stacks up against heavier bullets is an interesting study in ballistics. I look forward to reading your report. I think there are a bunch of donor actions sitting around waiting for info and data to evolve. Until one gets into the long bullets, a std. mag. action should be fine. I'm interested in how a std. box mag. can be tweaked to get three rounds down. The rest should be a straight forward barrel swap.
