I think this cartridge will be more of a good thing. Guys on here that shoot the small bore magnums, (one .257 weatherby shooter in particular :D) that have a bunch of experience are really vocal about how well they kill, and i'm inclined to believe them. Most hunters either don't know about or bother with using turrets, and don't shoot game past 500 yards with regularity. The 26 nosler doesn't do anything that isn't already able to be done, but being able to aim at a deer with little to no holdover to 400 yards is pretty cool. I think that's its strongest selling point. Anyway I have an old Interarms action tucked away that was going to become a .264 winchester but, no belt and mo' powder are hard to pass by without a loooong look.
