Anyone have one yet? Was looking at the ballistics of it and looks to move a 140gr bullet pretty fast.

I have one in Browning X-Bolt, but have shot it yet. Still trying to decide what I want to put on it for a scope.

I bought a Nosler m48 patriot in 26 Nosler last summer and put a Vortex viper PST 6-24x50 on it. Can't give u any reviews on it cuz I haven't shot it yet. Mounted the scope on it and back in the gun safe it went for now. If it shoots anything like my Nosler 243 I will be tickled pink.

I bought a Browning long range hunter in a 7mm Rem Mag a couple years ago and finally got some glass on it. Shoots 150gr bullets really well. I reloaded some 150gr TTSX and had 3 shots less then a dime one time with it. Reloaded same powder and bullet to retest and wasn't even close. Haven't had a chance now to try it again since its been cold out. Been looking at the Nosler M48's too just haven't shot one or know anyone who has one. Really want to get a 26 Nosler though. Looks like a fun round to reload and mess around with.

I have the m48 in 243 and 26 and like I said I have only shot the 243 but it shoots really well the little bit I have shot it. Hoping to add another m48 to the collection soon if I can't get away with it.

I have a friend at work that has 3 of them one m48, one Browning and he just got back a custom built one and he loves them all 140 easy 2890FS reloading.
He went long barrel on custom trying to get heavier Berger running
What impresses me is he has 3 m48 in different calibers and they all shot light out .3 best so far for price not bad, my custom rifles run 3 times price and

Saw a whole bunch of 26 Nosler rounds on clearance on Midway yesterday if you guys are interested. 'Bout all I have to add to this.

Wow that's the cheapest I have seen the ammo go for by far...I thought I got a decent deal at $57 a box.

2890 I would think 3300-3400 would be easily got. I know 3200 out of a 6.5 saum is not hard to attain. With 140/amax or Berger.

HE was looking for MOA not speed, still playing. 3200 was no trouble just no accuracy. The main thing was the quality of m48 for sub custom at 1/3 price.

My meaningless response is I'd be a bit torqued to have a monster .260 Rem.

Defeats whole purpose of that round which is speed other wise you just got a real expensive .260 rem. I would be looking at something if I wasn't getting moa and 3200 fps in the 1/3 price sub custom.
