Default #6 NM wire in 1/2" hole?

26 amps is more than 80% of 30 amps. Generally a circuit should not
excede 80% of the circuit protection rating (fuse or breaker - and I
assume wiring).

Wrong. The 80% rule applies only to continuous loads.

You really should stop trying to give electrical advice.
