The 6.5 mania continues

[sheephunter]

Or should I say that the wheel continues to be reinvented....

Is it based on an existing cartridge?

Is it based on an existing cartridge?

Given that OAL of 3.340, maybe .270 or .30-06? Interesting development.

Edit: Nah, not enough case capacity. Give us pics!

 

[tuffbuff]

sounds pretty interesting, wonder what case they started with - maybe a 375 ruger? any pics?

 

[arcticcathonda]

Be interesting read more into this when more data surface.

 

[CheeseBurger]

6.5 x .300 Win Mag? or .375 H&H?

 

[mikeyb]

The Google is showing nothing. I can't find load data or a reference to it on the Nosler site. Sounds like a laser though with that kind of speed and high BC bullets. Wonder if there is a parent case? .375 Ruger, maybe?

Holy fast!

6.5 x .300 Win Mag? or .375 H&H?

It says "non-belted".

I am not sure about the name - 26 Nosler. Maybe the 17/64" Nosler would have been better.

Oops, didn't read that part. My bad

 

[burnt_servo]

off hand it appears to be very close to the 6.5stw ( maybe a touch slower , and a touch smaller case capacity ) .

as already mentioned maybe they are necking down the ruger 375 case .... or something similar in size ( diameter wise ) as they say it fits in a standard 30-06 action .

I think the 17/64 has a good ring to it.

This is pretty much exactly the "6.5 ARP" I put together years ago.

Nothing is new in the world of wildcats................

Case is going to be a little bigger than the 300win if it has the claimed useable capacity of 93g h20

 

[kevin9934]

still prefer my 6.5 rsaum

So it should be harder on barrels than the 6.5-284, or am I wrong in that assumption?

 

[marcoman]

Big deal, been running a 6.5 STW for years. Awesome performance but you pay for it with barrels.

X2.
Maybe Nosler has built a 6.5-06 of some kind?

Have you tried RL33 in the 6.5 and RL50 in the 8mm?
