I always liked the 95 BT, especially for slow twist 243s but nosler has went nuts with pricing. I've started looking elsewhere too

I wrote NUZler off years ago, 50 round boxes is a bunch of jive.
Never seen their bullets shoot any better than a similar Hornady.

Nuzler also exaggerates their BC and back several years ago they always had the latest greatest LR bullet just about ready to ship. Three years later a few people would finally get their hands on a box and all the big hype turned out to be half true.

Guy I knew in Meridian [Boise] his brother worked for nosler, he said they didn't treat their employees very well.

Once upon a time, Nosler blems went for about $16 per 50. Bought plenty, plus a bunch of overruns in various calibers. That well seems to have run dry. Have they eliminated the blems by improving the process, are they selling them through other channels, or ?

Thanks Hank and Lawrence.. I've got several boxes of the 90 and 95 grainers... and also the 70s and 80s...

Just until Nosler gets back in the real world, I'm not a paying customer for them...

appreciate you boys being willing to part with a few...got the brass tumbling tonight, to load up some for deer season coming up at the end of Sept.

I've got a couple of boxes of the Gamechangers , like 200 rounds or so...

after the last failure I had with them over bad load info.... If I use them, I now know to redline their velocity.

Is Jeff O. your sockpuppet?...

I can get the box opened anyhow... but I have a pocket knife if they get complicated.

Don't strain too hard that covid might come back in liquid form.

They are available thru Shooter’s Pro Shop. I used to buy the hell out of their ‘blems’ but then they got on the covid scarcity bandwagon and jacked their prices so high that you can sometimes buy factory firsts for less elsewhere. I went back to the 50gr Speer TNTs in my 222s and 223s. Just bought 3 x 1000 count boxes for $120 each. It’s pretty hard justifying $35 for a box of varmint bullets from Nosler.

Thousand round boxes of 50 TNTs, has been my go to bullet for varmints for a couple of decades...

that and 52 gr HPs and 50 and 55 SP, each in the thousand round containers...

The other brand I have a lot of when I find them on sale in volume... the V Maxes.... 40 and 53 grainers the most common one I use.

Can’t go wrong with those. I do like the Noslers, just wish they were more reasonable. I do still have a good supply of them tho. They had the 55 gr BT on sale about three years ago for around $9/100 and I bought 10k of them. Still have 7k or so. Ive used probably 2k in the 223s and the rest in 22-250 and 220 Swift loads. I shot lots of the Speer stuff 10 years ago.

I may have to give Hornady another go. I bought a case of Hornady 204 and 17 Hornet ammo right before things went stupid and they both shoot fantastic. I haven’t used their bullets much in 20 years because they just wouldn’t group as well for me back then. Future 222 and 223 will be the 50 gr TNTs tho.
