Default 26 nosler
Sounds like Nosler is coming out with a hot 6.5 cartridge this march. Its supposed to push a 129gr accubond 3400fps or a 140gr at 3300fps. I wonder how well this will take off?

The 26 nosler has a case capacity of 93 gr of water from what I have read, basically a 6.5 STW so to speak, that's a lot of capacity for a 264, maybe 900 rounds of barrel life.

The Gibbs has a case capacity of 71.2 gr of water, so roughly 22 gr more capacity. However with a 30" barrel the Gibbs runs a 140 Berger down range at 3180 fps, within 150 fps what the 26 is published at, and it burns 61.7 gr of powder to get there
