Clearly, Nosler is chambering the cartridge. Haven't heard any scuttlebutt yet about others chambering the load.

...you might try googling Nosler/ Shot Show/ 26 Nosler, so far I'll I've seen is pics, & not very good ones, but since Nosler is introing it today, I would guess there should be some "buzz" from people @ Shot Show...

It is based off the 404 Jeffery case and will fit a standard action length so the case length will be around 2.5".
Not sure of the shoulder angle.

They had a Nemo Omen chambered in 26 Nosler at the booth today. What a rifle! I believe it will also be chambered in their own rifles (Obviously) but I don't know if Remington or Winchester will be chambering rifles. I can stop by tomorrow and ask if you'd like.

As long as Winchester has their own .264 I doubt if you will see it chambered in a M70. Maybe a Browning or FN. I see where FN is coming out with a push feed rifle this year also.

Nosler's ad says it is based on a modified .404 Jeffrey case.

Pretty neat they give you a chance to vote on which manufacturer you would like to see chamber it as well, I voted for Savage since they might offer a lefty version and will offer good inexpensive rifles. Interesting to see Savage and Remington are the most popular choices so far.

If it wasn't for the fact I knew it was a 26 Nosler(.264cal), I would have said these dimensions are a Vom Hofe 7x66. Never the 26 Nosler is an impressive looking cartridge.

Interesting is to say the least. It looks like Nosler got it right. On paper nothing compares to it.TRIC":18fpzgh3 said:

It is definitely built off the 404 Jeffrey case so would be similar to the RUM, SAUM, WSM cases.
