It sounds awesome to me. I'll never get one, but at least they're making something.

Just got this..... It is true; we have developed a new rifle cartridge named the 26 Nosler. The photo posted above is indeed a photo of our 2014 catalog. While the cartridge does share similarities with existing cartridges, the 26 Nosler is a new and unique cartridge that was submitted to SAAMI by Nosler in June, 2013. We will be formally releasing the 26 Nosler at the 2014 SHOT Show along with information regarding our new rifles that the 26 Nosler will be chambered in. We are very excited about this new cartridge and look forward to sharing more about it with you all after SHOT. For now, some benefits to consider:
-Extremely flat trajectory. Max. P.B.R. of 415yards
-Fits a standard (30-06) length action
-Light Recoil
-Loaded with the 129gr. AB-LR, the 26 Nosler retains as much velocity at 400yards as the 260 Remington produces at the muzzle.

I have been running them for months. I can't find anyone who has them in stock (and I've been looking). PM me if you have a secret source.

"Loaded with the 129gr. AB-LR, the 26 Nosler retains as much velocity at 400yards as the 260 Remington produces at the muzzle."
Is it that good or the 260 Rem. that slow?

Holy crap if that is true I'm going to own one.
On second thought I already tried that with a 7RUM case necked down to .264. Anyone need a .264 RUM Redding custom sizer.

If I want to push that much powder, I think a larger bore is more efficient, and def will get better bbl life. That's from a 6.5 lover.
Maybe some Mag folks will like it, Weatherby fans have been hollering and waiting, well some have, about a 264 Wby....concept good, but I just think a 7mm or 30 makes better sense w/that much powder, and I am not a 30 fan, rather a 338 or 9.3 if I NEEDED more than a 270/280 class round, and at that I just shoot the short non-mag rounds......
It will be interesting but recoil should not be light given charge, so that will be found out in short order. No doubt the stats sizzle....
I would likely run a 270/7mm WSM in a short if I wanted something w/LR in a short action, and a simple 7 RM in a long. With good bullets the plain jane RM is highly capable, much brass/ammo and rifles abound.

It's not about efficiency it's about performance......Kinda a corvette vs gas mileage thing.

to me the 264 win has been a failure, I don't know if its the way the case is designed or what. it just didn't work out for me. and I tried it twice. I have never had so much trouble being happy with a cartridge than the 264. I also don't know how great an idea it is to try and push match style VLD bullets to excessive speeds. for most of us these are expensive experiments. I don't think berger planned on their 140 vlds' being pushed much beyond 3100 fps.
there have been good reports about the 6.5 saum that GAP rifles has made. if I was wanting a hotrod 6.5 honestly I would have them do it, why because they have the reamer and setup that is already proven. the recipe for them is to load their 6.5 saum to low pressures but still decent speeds. sounds like something a large case 6.5 could also do.

The .264 is a failure because it hasn't worked for you?
Just a bit of a leap there...

It's not about efficiency it's about performance......Kinda a corvette vs gas mileage thing. Exactly. I want one. Custom, though ... short throat and a slow twist for 95 grain VMAXes and try to reach past 4000 fps. I want to put SERIOUS hurt on a jackrabbit. Tom
