Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles ANNOUNCING THE NOSLER E-TIP!!!!!!

Aggie:

I have spoken to them before about making a premium bullet and they said, "We already make a premium bullet. We make the gameking!". Last time I spoke or dealt with them. They do amke accurate bullets though.

Groove bullets?

Yes. I helped Don moderate the site.

Unfavorable accuracy results with the partition lead me to stay away from cores. I'm sure they can be just fine, I'm just a bit spooked. Doesn't mean i wont' try the MRX though.

POP,
Sorry if this has already been asked.
Do you know the OL of the 180 grain .308 bullet?
Thanks,
Sam

Pop,

I agree with you on the accuracy of Sierra bullets, no argument from me on that.

Like aggie, I also used Sierra in the 80's, but ditched them do to erratic results (I am sure you have seen the pics I have posted from time to time of trashed Sierra's).

I am sure they are losing market share in the hunting bullet catagory, you can see that from their latest advertisements in mags.

My business philosophy has always been if you are not moving forward you are moving backwards. There is no such thing as standing still and gaining. You always go backwards while standing still.

They're not cheep.
But they do out penetrate an x.Everytime.

I'm betting both Nosler and Barnes fans win with Nosler getting into the fray. Afterall, look how Barnes has the MRX priced per box of 20, and if Nosler's offering is the same or less than the TSX, then it's real simple: Barnes will have to make a price concession, or they wont sell very many MRX's, and could lose market share of the TSX to Nosler. Point is, it doesnt matter who you favor, we all win. Don't you just love competition.

I understand the core thing. In my limited tests the MRX seem to have better than MOA potential but I need to get out of the wind with a good rest to see how much better.

Yup!

I am working on getting details on the OAL of the e-tip.

OK, thanks.

POP,
Thanks. I'll look forward to it.

Thanks for giving us the play by play on this one POP.

Has anyone here shot the GScustom bullets?

I've shot quite a few of Gerards bullets, and still have quite the stash. They work as advertised, although I'm not sure the listed B.C.'s hold water.

Anyway, very easy to work up loads for, and kill critters just fine. Now that there is a US distributor, they are something to consider again, though I must admit that the TSX kills animals just fine, too. FWIW, Dutch.

YUP.. They are awesome.

Coyote, keep me updated, that might mean night shooting!! I have to do it here time to time.

7mm-- not flaming, but exactly how is it that a similar bullet outpenetrates an X series? I'm very curious. Seems to me that just about all the similar ones, barnes, the GS whatever they are(had not seen them that I recall till now), new nosler and old failsafes should do just about exactly the same?

Jeff

I have always wanted to try some in some caliber but man they are spendy. I will have to save up and bite the bullet. lol!

The GS Customs are the most accurate bullet thus far in my 416 WBY, and Gerard and Gina are a pleasure to do business with.



I think what is hindering them is lack of representation on this side of the world.

Jeff, GS Cutom advocates shooting thier bullets fast enough to blow the petals of,this leaves a smaller frontal area,as well as a flat point solid that is now shoulder stabilized with the petals gone and increases penetration..........
