26 Schnoz would work anywhere. So would a 30-06.

No, I meant smoothbore muskets. By the time rifling was invented, ingwe was retired.

Would pimp up the 7/08.... Semi custom with a nice stock and a good trigger. Shoot the wad on glass if needed.... THEN when that isn't even enough I would dabble in the Nosler barn. By then they may even step to the edge with a 338 and a 25....

"Is a 26 Nosler an all around big game cartridge?"
It depends on what you are looking for in an "all-around" cartridge. As Mackay_Sagebrush pointed out, brass is very expensive compared to more mundane cartridges that will also do the job of 'all-around' cartridge. Factory ammo runs $66 to $71 at midwayusa.
For your stated needs of 500+ yards (and assuming if you meant 600+ or more you would have stated as much), there are a lot of cartridges that will work at much less expense and with a lot less recoil. Cartridges like the .270 Win, .280 Rem, 7mm Rem Mag, .30-06 and .300WM come immediately to mind.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

So far you're right but Rommel could see it and tell him.
