Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Nosler 30 Cal 180 grain Partition

We were caribou hunting few hours later we got a couple caribou. Hell one was harvested with a nosler 120gr etip 😁.

I've got a couple of 180's.

3.610" will dang sure work big buddy B, more room to run the slow burners for velocity is where it's at.

LOL, you got a nice set of drill bits there BSA, i'll be looking for as much b.c. as i can stabilize in the 7 Masher, 168 LRX or some sort of Hammer bullet, i know those would work on even very heqvy game up close should that happen, dont know same about a 180 Horn eld on a moose shoulder at 50 yards, my 7 Masher would boot the 180 horn out at 3000 fps.

Slightly off topic, but does apply to affording nosler bullets if one were inclined to do so, i sold my old M1 Garand and 550 rounds of 168gr Sierras to a kid in town, yesterday went to OKC to see an old Bud and bought a new Springfield M!A 'Loaded" with beautiful walnut, National Match 6 groove barrel, NM trigger and sights,, ordered 300 168gr Amax and a Maglula loader for the M1A at MidwayUSA, bought 3lbs 4064 from a Bud, have 231 new sticks WW 308 brass in the shop, laid three boxes of CCI-200's on the dies waiting on bullet order, had enough left to bank 700 cash! ...............................Amax's were 41 bucks a hundred, loaded them in cart, dropped to 35 bucks a box, spose there are ways around corporate greed ; ]

Never have tried their E-Tip but, when I saw last week the .308" 182 grain for 28 bucks per 50, I sprung for a few to try out.

The gold label bag I paid $11.95 for (I think I went through 8 of them - have 1.5 left). The rest were under $17.95 per 50ct.

Yep. What nobody appears to be thinking through is other companies are or will be raising prices, and SPS prices will be looking rather attractive. The price of everything is going up--including lead, copper, labor, and transportation, to name a few.......

Yeah I have a ton of bullets from Nosler that are factory seconds and overruns... but more along that sort of price range....

before they went to drug dealer prices....

I thought to look at this thread cuz this is supposedly a RELOADING forum, but it's a bunch of people whining about bullet prices.

Thanks for the info.

Nosler's and SPS's prices have gotten ridiculous. I have a few boxes of Partitions left in various cals but have mainly switched to Hornady Interlocks. I've almost always have gotten better accuracy with the Interlocks than Partitions and they've never left me wanting.

I’m not convinced SPS prices are “ridiculous” so much as I think they were an absolute steal for a dozen or more years… now they’re likely priced a bit more realistically, especially given what’s happening globally, and the contrast is a bit startling.

But I’d have no qualms shooting Interlocks for the rest of my life.
