Anyone seen any brass yet? Or done anymore load development. Have some 160 grain matrix ready to go once I get some brass.

Am supposed to have a rifle, ammo and brass to try out any day now.

Buddy of mine has 2 rifles built all ready. Nosler told him last week that he should have his new brass in a week or two.

My smith has formed me some from 7rum brass so if I have I will use them for now but would be nice to have the proper headstamp. Have a nice series B set of redding dies for them.

Might be an interesting caliber for a Ruger #1...that's a hint, Ruger

It would probably take a lot of forming to shorten a mag. length case to std. length. The shoulders would have to be set back a good bit. How many stages? DF

That will work.
A good friend has a shot out 7RM M-700 that he traded for, hoping to use it for a 26 Nosler. The std. mag box mag may or may not work. I guess he could get a RUM mag box and follower.

Might be an interesting caliber for a Ruger #1...that's a hint, Ruger The extractor on a SS works best with a rimmed case. Rimless cases can be made to work with a spring loaded extractor. It seems a rebated rim makes the extractor engineering even harder. I don't know how many rebated rim rounds are chambered in the #1. Probably not many. The 26 Nosler has a std. mag. .534" rim and a .550" case body. DF

Do you know of any rebated rim rounds chambered in the #1?

Pretty sure they did a run of 6.5-284's a couple years ago.

Well, if they can make that one work, they could do a 26 Nosler.

I once had a 6.5x284 sporter contour in a Ruger #1 with an aftermarket barrel. It shot and extracted the cases fine.

I look forward to JB's report, as I'm sure a bunch of fellow Loonies are.
This round is interesting. I want to know it's real performance, strong points, weak points and if it's something I may want. To me the jury is still out on this one.

I received the rifle Friday, and ammo, brass and dies are on the way.
