On second thought I already tried that with a 7RUM case necked down to .264. Anyone need a .264 RUM Redding custom sizer.
what was your setup and ballistics?

I had it on a 24" single shot 700. A 264 WM barrel that had a badly eroded throat. My cousin had the reamer so he ran it in.
Crowded really hard with H870 or 50BMG I could break 3250 if I recall correctly but not by much.
Needed a lot more barrel than 24 to realize any improvement over the 264 WM. And it didn't take long to finish off that barrel.

((The 26 Nosler� cartridge was designed to take advantage of the inherently accurate and high B.C. 6.5mm (.264) caliber bullets, and is capable of shooting the Nosler� 129 grain, AccuBond� Long Range� bullet at a blazing 3400 fps out of the muzzle. Zeroed at 350 yards, the 26 Nosler� has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards. Loaded with the 129gr ABLR, the 26 Nosler� retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington� produces at the muzzle.)) Interesting concept But If you take a 300 win mag, load up a 125gr ballistic tip to 3500fps. You get the same results. Where is the better mouse trap part of the story?

The higher BC bullets of the 26 Nosler will have a huge amount of less wind drift at long range and maintain velocity better than would a BC challenged 30 caliber 125 grain bullet

Gotta be one of the most humdrum names I've ever heard of for a cartridge...... I hope the R&D department did a better job than their PR department.

It'll burn up a lot of real slow powder that is still hard to find, hey that's where all the powder went!!

Agree, 2 digits vs 3.....hmmmm, not smelling success, personally.
Yes, high performance, sell the sizzle.
BTW, what speed will a 270 WSM run a 130?

This cartridge will fail miserably.

What's capacity of .338 Ultra Mag case?
With a 26 cal boolit i'd expect that velocity.

Happy enough with my 6.5 Weatherby pushing 140 NP's at 3410 fps. Any faster and I think you are just risking bullet failure. 140VLD's blew up on the hide of a deer at that same speed at approx 100 yards.

Killertraylor, Happy enough with my 6.5 Weatherby pushing 140 NP's at 3410 fps. Is that based on the .300 case?

This cartridge will fail miserably. Not necessarily ... if the cartridge can be necked up to 7mm or 338cal, and it cleans out a regular 7mmmRemMag and 338WinMag chamber and will feed from the magazine and through the action ... it will potentially be a success just as the 7mmSTW was. Most 7mmRemMags and 338WinMags come with 24-26" barrels, a simple rechamber that adds horsepower ... could be very interesting! Cheers... Con

I like the idea of beltless 30-06 length magnums. I had a 7 lrm for a while and really liked the concept. At least they went with a decent bullet diameter instead of a 25 or 27. Hopefully it has a 30 degree shoulder, a long neck, and no rebated rim. It does sound like a lot of capacity for a 6.5. You have to run really slow powders to get good load density in a 264 win. Sounds like the case will make a decent 28 or 30.

Well...it fits a 30/06 length magazine box and action, so it isn't based on a beltless STW case or RUM....both of those take a H&H length action. I bet brass is Norma and likely thin,which may account for the case volume. I still think it's gonaa be similar to the 7 LRM,the 7mm Dakota(same thing with different head size),necked to 6.5, which boils down to a necked 375 Ruger....that's my bet,but we will see. Anyway I think it sounds pretty cool! Gotta be a pretty mean open country cartridge. I'd order a spare barrel right away.  The 264 Win Mag boys have been trying for decades to get 3200 from 140 gr bullets.....some powders do it and some don't I guess. Well, seems that will be a safe bet with this cartridge....so there ya go!What's not to like?

This cartridge will fail miserably. Nope,it will be a "proprietary" cartridge,like Dakota's and A-Square line of cartridges and rifles. Nosler will have rifles,brass and loaded ammo for it. Will the big ammo/gun companies pick it up,time will tell.

Anyway I think it sounds pretty cool! Gotta be a pretty mean open country cartridge. {Yes, no doubt, but, it will not be any better in real terms than several other currently available cartridges} I'd order a spare barrel right away. {Good idea, let's wait and SEE just what features their new "platform" for this and perhaps, .308" and .338" versions on the same case, will have. I would LOVE a CRF rifle, with a workable, reasonably priced setup where one could buy extra tubes, pre-chambered and headspaced to the one action and such a system would, IMO, help with sales volumes in what is a rather "specialized" cartridge.} The 264 Win Mag boys have been trying for decades to get 3200 from 140 gr bullets.....some powders do it and some don't I guess. Well, seems that will be a safe bet with this cartridge....so there ya go!What's not to like? {The various P-64 Westerners, owned by buddies and I, all have made 3200+, with 140 NPs over IMR-7828 and I expect that RE-25, will do much the same. If, I were younger, I would have grabbed a couple of minty Westerners, that have come my way in the past several years, as for $3K to $3500.00, one can install a Micky, Bansner, Brown or whatever and a Conquest or VX3 and you are good to go. Mine, will put the 140 NP into tiny groups at 300M all day with the above load at 3250 average, a good shot, better than me, can do major work at LONG range with this, IMHO.

Kutenay I have not worked with the cartridge too much....only 2 of them and then just with the 125 NPT.
