I have been looking many places for information about
the Barnes 226QT caliber!!.
I found many many years ago an artical about that caliber
that it uses a 130grain bullet, the twist ratio in the barrel is
5 1/2:1 and the brass was 7x57 mauser necked down!!
But that`s all I remember!!
Is there anyone out there who knows any links or what so ever about this caliber??
