DW58 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 There's also a .280 Nosler now - assuming it's the same case necked up - any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Dw-Nosler did persuade SAAMI to legitimise the 280rem Ackley Imp-could that be it? Seems unlikely Nosler would have done this to compete with a completely new Nosler proprietary 280.......? The Nosler 260-if indeed it does deliver 130@ 3350,is a step up from such as 6.5 Rem Mag,and the less obscure 264 Win Mag-though even this latter never caught on in UK-just nothing for it to shoot,that wasn't done equally/better by other cartridges-and both were introduced in a time when 6.5 was not flavour of the year,though the 264 had some deserved popularity as a long range mountain sheep/similar rifle in the US. Be interesting to see how many actually buy the 260 Nosler,and what they shoot with their limited life barrel in the UK; it offers quite a bit of performance ,of course-but so does the very good 7 Rem Mag.Hill stalking apart,maybe these are all answers to a problem the UK does not have, big time? But that is hardly new,either..... :-) gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 The innovative rifle builder David Lloyd was very keen on the .264 Win Mag building a fair number of stalking rifles in this calibre over the years. Wiki = David Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 The innovative rifle builder David Lloyd was very keen on the .264 Win Mag building a fair number of stalking rifles in this calibre over the years.Wiki = David Lloyd Agreed,I didn't mention him because the number of such rifles (scope mounts with a rifle added on!) in 264 was really very small,and they were expensive-the few I saw tended to be in Holland and Holland's; absolutely nothing wrong with LLoyd rifles,just a speciality /luxury item....more exclusive than Weatherby's. There would have been a lot more 6.5 M/S estate rifles in their heyday,hardly economy options either! That is not to say the Nosler might not sell some,but rationally,it's not really something many will need....though I wanted a 6.5RM-never saw a single one (thankfully,in hindsight-the M/S was consolation enough.) gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I owned (and loved) a 6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schönauer (a lovely take-down with 4x36 scope in claw-mounts). I think most of us have rifles/guns we wish we'd never sold - the M-S is one of mine along with a Merkel O/u shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarovski1 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Looks like a 6.5-06AI. Thats gonna eat barrels, but looks a great cartridge. my 6.5 06 has shot inexcess of 1100 shots, and a good few 1000yd snaps details and its still tack driving, long may it continue, I did consider the ai but as been said about ai the gain is not worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
