I limit my shots to 300 on coyotes and big game alike because that’s where I’m quite comfortable shooting.

Bullet placement is all that really matters and having enough SD and speed to get to/through vitals.

I am a fan of 6.5 anything. I really enjoy my 6.5x55 and it shoots lights out much further than I can.

Having said that it will play second fiddle to one of my .458 high perf ML’s on the upcoming Moose trip.

310 grain pill at 2900 fps .40 G1 BC will put around 3500 pounds energy on target at 300 yards....Bullwinkle isn’t walking away from that!

In someone’s more capable hands it would whack moose at 600 yards with 2000 pounds energy at that distance.

Congrats to the fellow that bought the 26 Nosler - please post your shooting results!
Where you going moose hunting?

I’ve had 2 26 Noslers and I should have never sold the second one
My buddy has it and if he ever sells it I get first chance
It’s a laser beam. Performance on game is outstanding
