[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 980245, member: 63138"] This is a pretty confusing one because I burn the same powder in my 338 RUM (which is the same case as the 26 Nosler) and it gets hot down the whole length of the barrel (especially around the chamber). There is something different about the 26 (obviously a much smaller hole in the case) that is causing this. This is not about the thicker metal because the thicker metal in all my other rifles gets as hot or hotter than the middle of the barrel. I'm also going to try the 26 Nosler with some US 869 and H50BMG (the other two powders Nosler lists load data for) for a fuller case and hopefully improved accuracy and I'll see if they heat the barrel the same way.
