[QUOTE="djm670, post: 1107985, member: 36341"] Isn't that the truth! So hard to interpret what one is saying via the written word, no matter how well it is stated. Initially, I did not know how to take sable's response either, but when I re-read it today, it makes perfect sense. Believe he is saying that the .264 WM and the .26 Nosler are not really comparable as the Nosler case is significantly larger (roughly 13% by volume). It is going to be faster then the .264 WM with the same weight bullet although you should probably really be shooting a heavier 6.5 mm bullet with the Nosler at the same speeds you are shooting the lighter .264 WM bullet. Neither are barrel burners when the correct powder modern/recent powders and length of barrel is use. That the term barrel burner is pretty archaic in today's world. By the way of introduction I have been a lurker on here, devouring all the fantastic information available for a couple of years. Not sure why this thread got me to post. Background: Ex Automotive Engineer who grew up on a ranch in Montana and enjoys rifles and shooting. Never had a .264 WM but always wanted once since I saw one of the first ones on display in my uncles Montana Hardware/Lumber store. Still want one just like I would love to have a .26 Nosler even though I know the .28 Nosler is probably a better use/application of the Nosler cartridge. My arsenal includes most of the varmint calibers .17 Remington, .223, .220 swift, 6 mm Remington, .25-06, .270 up to the .30-06.
