Bud and I built a pair of 26 Noslers on old 7RM M-700’s. He later had a well worn 7RM Ruger 77 rebarreled with Shilen 270 Wby.
After working with these two rounds, it appeared to me that the 270 Wby would do with 130’s about what the 26 Nos does with 140’s, burning a lot less powder. For what we do and the game we shoot, the 270 Wby seems the better choice. Our WT deer can’t tell the difference, 130’s from 140’s. Maybe with heavier game.
The trajectories with those two loads were about the same, kill stuff about the same. IMO, the 270 Wby is a sleeper. Bud uses his more than the Nosler.
