Hi Doug, Between the insane amounts of hoarding like people buying for calibers that they don't even own!, and the fact that Nosler is so small of a manufacture. Then there's having contracts with other ammo manufactures to use our bullets like Federal Premium line, and the third strike is the fact we are slowly but surely moving the machines to our new building so they have some serious down time and re-assembly of these enormous machines - it all takes its toll on what is being produced and how much of each. I pray things can get back to normal real soon because the frustration on both side is getting to us all. Thank you for being a loyal customer of ours. We know full well it's Nosler handloaders like you that put us on the map - and we don't take that lightly. We are doing all we can for our loyal customers like you to get you the supplies you need. I wish there were more than 24hrs in a day or 7 days in a week, but that's all there is and we are doing are best to use each minute of the day wisely and get more products made for people like you. Thank You David A On Thu, 13 Jul at 8:59 AM , Douglas. rogillio <douglas.rogillio outlook.com> wrote: Nosler New submission for form NOS Contact Us Question About: Reloading Email Address: douglas.rogillio outlook.com Name: Doug Rogillio How can we help you?: I do not understand why certain Accubond bullets, specifically .308 165's, have been unavailable for so long. I am on the alert list. But, this borders on ridiculous. My MidwayUSA backorder was cancelled by them after 18 months. What gives?

While I don't like the fact that they got themselves into this situation, seems like an honest response.

Right. During the number one time of max prices and demand, they are moving all their machines and causing down time.
So, who is getting fired? Lol

Have you laid out notifications elsewhere? I’ve seen accubonds on the shelf and through midway in the last month alone.

It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

Don’t forget most of the bullet manufacturers produce loaded ammo which in of itself consumes bullet productions. Definitely helps the profit margins.

Doug, I believe SPS had 165 NAB's recently, though they are obviously 2nd's. Perhaps you were you looking for 1st's?

Tough pill to swallow. You aren't kidding! They're truly way up into the premium price now. Have used BTs and Sierra bullets exclusively for over 30 years. Liked performance, quality. And the look so much better than the other Big 4s products. Made my loads look good. Both companies have pushed their prices beyond their value. Darn shame about Steve H and his Jab BS. Right now there is enough stock to last for my foreseeable future in the basement. So there is no need to chose between getting it between the cheeks, or supporting someone who screws his employees.

It’s funny how we can all read the same response and each of us comes away with a different opinion about it. 😀. I read Nosler’s reply and I thought That’s a personal reply to a question he probably gets nonstop. He explained the obstacles they’re facing, why they’re struggling to keep up with demand and the desire to get this resolved as fast as possible. I definitely understand the frustration on our end but I also know that small business doesn’t like not keeping up with the demand for their products because that’s lost revenue so it’s not them being difficult. The plans to move into a bigger facility are likely decisions made in the years prior and not every contingency can be accounted for. No company likes interruptions to their manufacturing line or an inability to keep up with demand so I imagine that response was as honest and genuine as it was unwelcome. 😂
My issue with Nosler isn’t so much their availability but more their ridiculous pricing. I know Accubonds are desirable but give me a break on their cost, they aren’t magic. 😀
