I just saw an episode on tv with mcwhorter rifle and they are claiming that their 26nosler necked up to 284 will push 180 gr berger to 3100 + FPS. can this be? That's faster than most all 7mm I know of. And this isn't even a magnum is it?
26 nosler necked to 7mm??

I would think 3100 with that cartridge should not be hard to achieve. The 7mmSTW can do it and the 7 RUM also. I suspect the 7mm Dakota would also be right there.
Magnum is a confusing term to me. Just because they don't have a belt doesn't mean they are not a magnum. Somehow back in 1912 with the introduction of the 375 H&H people started relating the term magnum with belted cartridges. The 7mm Remington Ultra Mag has no belt, neither does the Dakota or the LRM. My 280 Ackley with 27" barrel will shoot right along side of my 7 Rem mag with a 24". Nobody calls it a magnum........maybe they should???

the 7-300 win mag will shoot that fast as well, and a tad more with a little bit longer barrel with way cheaper brass and a lot less powder

Oh, it's seriously a magnum.

3100fps is a diddle.

or 375 ruger down to ....338... 30.. or 7mm still less powder than factory stuff...
lots of big case 7mms already.. 7mm stw & ultra already have more powder capacity...
nosler shows 3150 in the stw with the new LR AB 175GN..

Like has been stated already... The 7mmSTW and 7RUM can already do that...
The .28 Nosler should be able to do it with no problem, as well.

I don't care.
We know when I started working on it. We know I made it public. We know I'm the only one willing to publicly work on load data and freely share it.
If someone wants to claim proprietary, fogedaboudit.

And a 30
It's a shame that Nosler is so "corporate" that they move at a snails pace.
Started working on figuring out the 26-Nosler on rumor/first word prior to the "official" announcement at 2014 SHOT Show.
I finished my designs in January 2014. .257 to .458. Entered them on AmmoGuide in February.
Called and emailed Nosler about the larger bores.
Ordered the first reamer in March maybe April. Dave Kiff had already listed them as products by then.
Worked on actions/guns throughout the year.
Now a year later. Nosler has messed with the specifications for the 30 and 33. They are no longer the same as the original. They did the same thing Remington did with the RUM which was to reduce the capacity of the large bores and ruin the concept.
