NOSLER� INTRODUCES BONDED PERFORMANCE� BULLET LINE



Bend, Ore. � November 21, 2012 � Nosler, Inc. the world�s foremost bonded bullet manufacturer is announcing their new Bonded PERFORMANCE� .224 caliber, 64 grain Bonded Solid Base� bullet. The 64gr Bonded PERFORMANCE� bullet is designed to maximize the terminal performance of .22 caliber rifle cartridges. While most .22 caliber bullets are designed to be highly frangible, the Bonded Solid Base� is designed for controlled expansion, high weight retention, and deep penetration. The Bonded Solid Base� makes an excellent medium game hunting bullet for states where .22 caliber rifles are legal for hunting as well as personal defense.

The Bonded Solid Base� bullet features a Protected Point design for reliable feeding in both bolt action and semi-automatic rifles. The tapered jacket ensures controlled expansion while the proprietary bonding process prevents fragmentation and guarantees high weight retention. The AccuBond� bonding process welds the copper jacket to the lead core to virtually eliminate the possibility of core-jacket separation. Solid Base� construction supports the mushroom for wide wound channels and deep, straight-line penetration.

The .224, 64gr. Bonded Solid Base� bullet will be available in component form in 100 count packaging, as well as loaded in Nosler�s own Nosler� DEFENSE� 223 Remington ammunition.

Should work well in standard twist .22's but it is going to be tough to beat the TSX when it comes to making the pea-shooters into game rifles. Still, more options is better than less.....

JD338 has tried them on game and tested them on water jugs. They work great.

Bullet LINE....

What other bullets are coming in the line? A 80gr 6mm would be nice for my 6x45.

Are these 64's similar the BSB that Shooters Pro Shop has from time to time?

I could be very interested in these if they were available in other diameters

It looks like a TBBC

Looks like the perfect piggie pill for the AR

Is that billet intended for use in a tubular magazine? If not, why would you cripple a bullet like that?

ready to try it on pigs. my normal bullet is win 64 powerpoint or 62gr rem ultrabond which both work great expanding,holding together and punching through.

That thing is nearly as sleek as Oprah and Rosie sharing a bikini.

I have a feeling that this bullet was originally designed for tactical applications rather than hunting, and the intent was for it to have good "barrier blind" performance.

C'mon! I just ate!

I imagine that bullet is designed like that expressly so that it shoots in standard twist barrels - and I imagine it probably does that pretty well. Furthermore, I think a big game 22 CF bullet is not one whose maker intends for it to be used at distances beyond 300 yards, perhaps quite a bit less. I expect the reports we'll hear regarding this bullet will be excellent for the most part.

Bingo! That is what I was thinking......

Correct They were used by some special ops groups.......

Gonna get me some

(Not Oprah and Rosie)


Snake

Concur completely -

Only diff is that these open to a huge diameter.

From JD's 22-250

.224 cal 64 gr Bonded Solid Base
MV 3372 fps shot into water jugs at 30 yds, recovered in the 5th jug.
The recovered weight was 50.2 grs (72%) and expanded to .481".

What twist rate will be needed to run them accurately?

It will be interesting to see if they really sell. I just cannot see the purpose given the performance of the 60 gr Partition and the previously noted TSX.
