26 Nosler - Wildcating goes mainstream!
Some of these new cartridges like the .26 Nosler remind me of when wildcating was in it's hay days. Shooters loved to take any base case & neck it up, down blow it out, size it in, etc. Great fun to see the results & hear the claims. It seems like the manufacturer are now doing the same thing except they are not restricted by the base case - they can make a new one! It doesn't matter that just about every conceivable "gap" in commercial cartridges from .17 to .50 has been filled!
But Nosler made a big mistake - the name. No charisma in .26 Nosler, which perhaps in the long run, may be its only signature property distinguishing it from the pack!
