Does the 6.5 cm have anything over a 26 nosler?

Just thinking out loud but I’ve got a rem 700 in 300 rum that might make a nice 26 nosler.

Barrels wear out regardless and 1885 or Ruger No.1 actions are shorter than any bolt action anyway!

The action length was never an issue for me but I suppose it is fir some .

I'm a big guy I'm sure I could handle the extra couple of ounces a long action weighs and if I can't pull and push the bolt the extra inch I suppose I should probably just turn in my man card for a rainbow toque. As far as barrel life goes I'm sure I will get lots of enjoyment out of it before it is wore out.

In 10 years the world will say what's a 26 nosler?, and you'll see 6.5 CM on every ammo shelf.
