I think you'll find that Nosler has been doing it for longer than that. Up here at least. In Canada, they are one of the most expensive bullets. Frankly, if I needed something more than a cup and core bullet, I would give Barnes a hard look before I'd consider a Partition.

I just took a quick look at Cabelas up here. These prices are CDN, but it doesn't matter.

Nosler 130 gr .277 Partitions are $100 for 50.
Barnes tipped TSX 130 gr. bullets are $70 for 50.

Hornady Interlock .277 130 gr. bullets are $70 for 100 or $35 for 50.

For my needs, I would never consider Nosler or Barnes.


Safe Shooting!
