Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles The new Nosler Ballistic Tip box- have you seen it?

Just found that gem too...


Travis

You would shure think a hunk of blue tape would keep that box closed...I'm betting Jeff O has some somewhere....

Thinking Nosler doesn't know or care much about shipping stuff like bullets. I tend to buy more Noslers in plastic bags that tend to lose the labels, packed in shipping boxes that are stuffed with eco-friendly(?) air pouches (which really aren't worth a damn for bullet shipping details). From an Alaska shipping perspective, where broken packages are almost expected, Midsouth has this stuff pegged with their hand cut and folded boxes of heavy weight boxes, well sealed with sturdy tape, followed by Midway, but they are only sometimes good (although follow-up corrections to "Larry, I had 47 of 100 bullets scattered inside the box I received" have been great.) D&R has seeded the mails pretty good with bullets, as has Cabelas. In terms of factory packaging, I like Hornady fiber boxes best of all, the Noslers have been equal to it for some years; ditto Barnes boxes before the paper seal is cut. Midway blue plastic boxes are also good. Speer and Sierra boxes often pop open when larger-than-varmint weights are dropped.

I'd happily buy only blems and dump them in plastic peanut butter and mayonnaise jars. They have worked fine for cast bullets for a long time.

Not only that, but you can talk other people out of ever trying bullets you've never used because, by golly you saw a picture!

Best of all, you can be much more certain in recommending Accubonds that you've never killed anything with because, by golly, there's a picture on the box. Imagine how many critter's lives will be saved which otherwise would have died in the name of R&D!

The new Nosler box wasn't Jeff's first challenge in life.....

Farside. Far out, whinin' about a box that doesn't easily re-seal, like yer morning box of of Coco Puffs, whatever?

Bein's I only use 100gr .257 Btips, guess when I run out of 'em in the green, red and black boxes that even the dumbest jackass in the clan could re-seal, I'll just dump the new ones into a little plastic margerine tub and snap the fookin' lid back on, when done? If they have blue tips, then they must be the bullets I wuz looking for?



Could make it even easier for an old dope like me and just write "100gr Btips" on the lid, with a Sharpie?

Here's the most important picture that should reside on those boxes. Also, remember the extra hazmat shipping charges on the NBT!

At the risk of reviving the stupidity and for those that don't load 50 at a time, I dug an old Ballistic Tip box out of the trash for demonstration purposes.

Here is the box in "sticker cut, pre-opened" status:


Here is the box in "slightly opened" status:


Here is the box in "opened" status:


Here is the box in "being closed" status:


Here is the box in "completely reclosed and perfectly re-usable" status:


While tape is a worthwhile method to close the improperly opened box as mentioned in earlier posts, I have demonstrated a possible method as detailed above that will allow you to save your blue tape for your rifle's muzzle.

Rick? Can we make this a sticky?

Great post War Eagle. Boxes have always been a real [bleep] for me as well.

This really is funny!

Jeff needs a freakin' instruction manual with the box.... (likely pun there).

And, yet... he uses firearms and votes without proper adult supervision.

No wonder he ass-shoots and votes for socialists.

I do believe that JeffO starts with good intentions but brings this schitt on himself, you just can't make this up...Once again, another gem

Someone should contact Nosler and ask them to furnish that pictoral sequence in DVD form, along with each box of bullets.

Some will not mind paying extry for that tutorial. They know who they are, no further punishment needed here.

You are the dumest Mofo I've ever seen post. Please keep doing so. I'm sure the pics on the box help because the words on the box are too big for you to understand.

Oh, that's beautiful! 10 pages of whining and he didn't even open the [bleep] right. At least swampy can function on his own.

The common sense approach{thank you War Eagle}:


The JeffO approach:




So in summary Jeff, its actually not the new box design that is stupid... it is you.

As I said before the hilarity of JeffO having been outsmarted by a cardboard box is awesome.

I can see it now:

"With every box of Nosler bullets, you get a free DVD with instructions on how to close the box."

They will sell twice as many bullets now. It won't be long and they will come in boxes of 25 and double the price again. Damnn you Jeff, it's all your fault!

I'm still voting for the shaker box. Flinch

Tough crowd. Where's the warmth and understanding for our challenged bretheren?

Perhaps R. Bin can find it in his heart to establish a "special" forum, for them what can't open a box of bullets, can't figure out WTH others pick on them here and just need some extry attention on a daily basis?

The Turdlike People have already established their niche here, maybe it's time for the Tardlike to receive equal billing?

He'll never be able to pull that off..

As a newbie on this forum, I would like to take the time to thank you men for the hours of entertainment you have given me. Keep up the good work.
