With the std. length mags, those super long bullets may not be practical. In a std. mag. the 140 NPT's, NAB's etc. should be OK.

My 6.5-284 will push a 140 VLD at 3K with RL-17. Hopefully, the 26 will be able to push those bullets at around 3,200 fps, or so. The point blank range will be extended for shooters not wanting to use a ranging reticle or turret.

Yes sir, without a doubt. Seems like there should be plenty of room for powder with that big case. The 264 Win Mag does pretty decent with 140's so I can imagine the bigger 26 Nosler should really whoop it on as well. I love my 264, one of my favorites since it just shoots very well, all the time. It was giving me a little grief when I first got it with Retumbo, but once I changed over to RL25, the planets aligned and it's been pretty easy to work with.
