I can see the 26Nosler to have the edge over my .270wea in trajectory dept..but it isnīt enough to get a new gun/caliber in the safe. Regarding 6,5mm..I look oreward one day to load and shoot my 6,5x54KP Kurz-Mauser. Itīs a 128grain bullet doing a sedate(or there about) 2500 ft/sec only. That is fine for a roedeer as it was presumeably intended for...
A fellow I knew in the 70's had one of those, but I thought it was the 6.5x53Mauser - or perhaps they are just similar? The ballistics you quoted sound familiar - I was surprised it's seemingly underloaded state, but assumed it was designed for a simple purpose - small deer or goats.
