Can some one tell me the formula for figuring out case capacity in grains of water. OR What is the capacity of the 26 Nosler case??
26 Nosler info needed

Thanks, but there must be 2 different ways for figuring that. My Ken Howell book on Designing and Forming Custom Cartridges shows 93 gr for the 6.5-06. It shows 121 for the 6.5/300Wby, which guessing, is about the same as the 26 Nosler. My John Donnelly book, Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversions shows the 6.5-06 at 63gr and the 6.5/300 Wby at 96gr. The second way looks closer to the way Nosler figured it.
What's the matter, deadnbrkn84, you want your barrels to last more than 1000 rds!! Hell, at least it is not a 6 RUM!!

I just don't understand it. If you want a 6.5 that fast build a 6.5 SAUM and get 3k+ rounds out of it. The Nosler just doesn't make any damn sense
I have a 6.5 WSM. The problem is I have 2 6.5 barrels in the closet and a 700 LA in the safe. What to do, what to do?? 1 of the barrels is going on a 98 to be made a 6.5-06 AI.
I have built 4 26 Noslers in the last 3 weeks, had to work a load for a customer with 130gr Barnes TSX, this is what we went with 75.2gr H4831sc 5rnd average 3505fps
I have a 6.5-06 and a 6.5-06 ai and they have a h2o capacity of 56, an 62 gr respectively, I think 93 gr is a typo

I like the way no one answered the OP's question.
You take 5 once fired cases that was fired in your chamber, do not resize them, get the dry weight and mark each case recording the weight for each case. With distilled water fill each case to the top forming a meniscus, weigh each case and record the weights, divide by 5 and you have your average H2O case capacity.
