Would the 7mm Nosler not use the 6.5 Nosler's case? I thought it different from the RUM case.

The 26 is based off of the 7RUM which is based off of the .404 Jeffrey..like all the other RUM cartridges.

Nosler shortened the cartridge case considerably over the 7,300 or 338RUM case...

Personally, curious to see what this will present..if it is a shortened 7RUM case..then won't the ballistics be very similar to the 7REM Mag? There is the case for the shorter action but that is already covered as well with the 7WSM and 7RSM...

I find it all very interesting but wonder how viable it all will be. I have been using and experiementing with the 26 Nosler for the past few months..not sure it really offers a whole lot more than my 264 Win Mag..and I certainly do NOT like hte feel of the Patriot rifle..feels way to clunky for my taste..incorrect angle of the wrist of the stock in relation to the trigger, again for my personal taste..feels awkward..

Not to be shrewd but there is already a 7 mm Blaser magnum on the market - designed and manufactured in Åmotsfors. Blaser cartridges are not bad at all, 7mm, 300, 338 and 375...
