Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting The new 26 Nosler

I'd love to see a 160 grain 6.5 berger.

Brass is listed on midway as coming soon. Price is about $65 for 25. Maybe it's gold plated Lapua. Hopefully someone else will make brass.

Wow, almost the same price as .30-378s and .338 lapuas. Nice. Good way to limit sales!

So I take it your gonna need a RUM equivalent bolt face?

I imagine it would look similar to the 160 gr Matrix VLD shown in pic next to a Berger 140 gr Hybrid Target

Dave has the reamer, Midway is listing brass, available in March. I'm sure dies will soon follow. It won't be long before barrels will be fitted to actions and the fun begins. I'm sure there are a bunch of Loonies waiting not so patiently for the early reports before taking the plunge.

Anyone with a reamer!
