Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Nosler Accubond Tips

kraky111. Pretty much the entire tip was out. Some had a little white color down in the hole. It almost looked like the glue dissolved some of it. I am not sure what a new tip outside the bullet looks like. You can pm message me with your email and I can send you a picture of one I saved. I pushed on some at the 45 degrees angle and the snapped out leaving a little white plastic below. I pushed real hard on quite a few and they were fine. So I am not sure. My 55 grain nosler BT have not had any problems and I have shoot lots of them.

The ones that came apart on me were broken anywhere from flush with the jacket to deeper like yours. The reason I thought my seating die was pushing on the plastic tips was they looked a little crooked like something had really pushed down on them. Not sure how they seat these suckers. Thinking someone wasn't doing the proper install...however it's done.
Anyhow all the problems seem to be with bullets from years gone by and I would think they are very aware at nosler not to have a repeat. I have no qualms about using more of their stuff. I still have some older 180 ab's on hand....will test them with the tap method....if I get a few that break I'll be on the phone. I'm lucky I have a collet bullet puller...it seems to pull the bulllets without affecting neck tension so a swap is easy for me.
