Gona do a little more reading about this cal and others in its class before a purchase but i do appreciate all the info ....
    Add a BRAKE and use US869 Powder ( NOT hard to GET ) behind a Accubond 140 gr-er and it might JUST be what YOU want ! RJ

    IMO if your looking for that kind of horsepower gain over the creed Id go with a 28 Nosler.

    I tried US 869 and Retumbo with a 142 ABLR in a Fierce and ran into pressure at about 3150 fps with no accuracy worth chasing. RL 33 will probably get you there but being as temp unstable as it is I wanted no part of it.

    Ya but isnt the 28 a non belted 7 rum .....and 7 rum is a very unpopular cal pretty much not being made anymore cause of cost of shooting and real no big upside to a reg 7 mag

    My post has kinda got off topic i guess , i think the 26 is more for me not really a hunting rifle for me just a toy . I think just pricing out options for lefty is prob the big final sale .... thanks RJ ....

    26 and 28 Nosler BOTH unbelted SAME case different NECK bullet size .264 - .284 Case is shorter then the 7 MM Rum ! I like the BULLET selection in the .284 ( 7mm ) Better I have a 7 STW and a 7 X300 WBee ( 6.5 x 300 WBee Necked up or 300 WBee necked down ) Now ARE really confused ? lol RJ
