G'day,
I just bought half a box of old Nosler Solid Bases in 150gn .308 calibre. I was surprised to see that they are hollow points. I have several different Solid Base projectiles in different weights and calibres but they are all soft points. I never knew Nosler made hollow point Solid Bases and have never come across any reference to them either.
Does anyone remember them or have experience hunting with them? The hollow point is rather small and looks like a target bullet. I'm used to the large hollow cavity in the Speer 130gn .308 bullet.
Are these a hunting bullet or were they Nosler's first attempt at making a target bullet? I just read the story of John Nosler (Going Ballistic) where he recalls the production of the various bullets and there was no reference to a hollow point Solid Base.
Thanks for all, and any, replies.
