Thread: Nosler 26, 28, 30, who's got one?

No experience with them but if they kill as well as the 130 VLD hunting in my Ackley, I will be happy.

I have a smaller "6.5 Something". 26gns of 8208XBR gives 2507fps with a 130gn TMK. good on gongs out to at least 600m. brass is cheap and 1lb powder lasts awhile

Finished load development on my 26 Nosler
135 gr berger classic hunters
norma brass
fed 215 primer
92.5 gr of H869
3500 FPS ave velocity dopler radar (range was 3475- 3525 fps velocity increases as use more rounds due to fouling)
this has a 29 inch finished length barrel that why velocity so high
ave group size was .75 inch fine for big game (1/2 would have been nicer !!)

6.5 SAUM

Well I had a crack with @GWH's 28 Nosler. Wow. Thanks man, really enjoyed that.

What I did not expect at all - cos I didn't believe him - was the effect of the Terminator T2 brake. First shot, I was clinging onto this rifle for dear life thinking its gonna kick hard... but it didn't. Pussy cat! The percussion from the backwards blast was very obvious, but no almighty whack. More of a shove. Entirely manageable.

Considering its a light rifle, I was mighty impressed.

Also managed it shoot it reasonably respectably as well. Ish....

You did alright mate, 2 shots from the 28N and 2 shots from the 7mm SAUM, plus one shot from me and the group could be covered by a tennis ball, not bad at 400 yards from 2 rifles you'd never shot before.

How do I make that REALLY BIG?? Like even bigger?

Lets be honest using a rock to get the chambered round out is common practice.
