Zeroed at 350 yards, the 26 Nosler® has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards. Loaded with the 129gr ABLR, the 26 Nosler® retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington® produces at the muzzle.

As both rifle cartridges fire the same bullets, the 26 Nosler and 6.5 PRC have identical SD values around 0.25 to 0.30 depending on bullet weight and design. In comparison, that means both cartridges are on par with larger cartridges like the 300 Weatherby Magnum in terms of penetration.

6.72 mm . 26 Nosler

Sticking with the 8-pound rifle, the 26 Nosler pushing a 142-grain bullet 3,200 fps will recoil 16 fps with nearly 32 f-p energy. The 28 Nosler adds considerable powder, thus energy, to push the same 175-grain bullet as the 280 AI.

lots of guys use 140 grn bullets for elk, so theoretically is should be ok. But the 26 Nosler is kind of a niche cartridge. I'd say it's more of a long range antelope or deer cartridge. Get the 26 if it's what you want.

The correct answer to what gun has the most recoil will depend on the specific firearm type we are talking about. For instance, among pistols, the Desert Eagle is famous for its felt recoil, while among rifles, the Barrett M82A1 . 50 caliber probably takes the cake.

If you're most likely to encounter elk in timbered country or if you're shooting a rifle that lends itself to short to medium ranges, Trophy Grade Partition ammunition is an excellent choice. Nosler also offers RMEF-licensed boxes of Trophy Grade Partition ammunition with a portion of each sale going back to RMEF.

You can expect the 30-06 to punch your shoulder with 23 to 25 ft-lbs of force while the 25-06 recoils with 19-ft-lbs. This doesn't sound like much difference, but it is noticeable. However, the 30-06 isn't known as a heavy recoil round compared to the 300 Win Mag.

Recoil depends on the load and rifle used, but generally speaking, the . 28 Nosler hits with about 28 ft. -lbs. of recoil energy while the 7mm Rem.

Nosler's Ballistic Tip has been the most accurate hunting bullet from several rifles. Famed barrel maker Dan Lilja discusses using the early Ballistic Tips from some of his long-range hunting rifles, and has very good things to say about them. Ballistic Tips have always shot well for me.

The 150-grain Nosler Partition, 30-06, has a bullet drop of -42" at 500 yards, while the 25 06 115gr Winchester Ballistic Silver Tip drops -44" at 500 yards. However, the 25-06 85gr Winchester Ballistic Silver Tip only drops -38" at 500yds.

25-06 shines. Its flat-shooting capabilities are legendary and well-earned; and if it's effective at 350 yards, it's also effective at 50 yards, and therefore a fine, do-it-all rifle for coyotes across a row crop field to whitetails in the woods to pronghorns on the plains.
