Usually when it happens, it's in a 26" barrel and with one or two rather specialized powders. My guess is the 26 will do it easily in a 24" barrel with several powders.

We'll see.


My guess, knowing gun nuts like we do, is that 90% of the purchasers will be cussing because the Nosler ammo is loaded to "lawyer level".

Then they will be trying to make 3500 fps with 140's.

Heck, I have to admit that I burned a few pounds of powder reaching for 3200 with a 140 in my old 264. But then I figured out it was a lot easier to make 3200 with a 27 inch barrel and 130's and the deer can't tell the difference.
