Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles The Nosler Partition Rehab Program

Not likely an interlock. After 70 years, I think Hornady bullets are just a tad better now. What's fu cking Nosler is his offspring. Woke offspring wanting more money. It is not going to end well for them. Bend is aiken to California now, as they have many many Californians that have moved in. Their demise is on them, not John Nosler. RIP..

...is this a bad time to remember that Hornady was apparently in love with the vaccine mandates?

They make platinum-dipped coat hangers!!!!?

Gotta get me some.

They make superfluous hyperbole. I'm a fan. Lol

It was a Hornady that blew up in the shoulder.

Thanks buddy. I never knew that. I’d always assumed it was a WW or RP bullet.

I've had zero Nosler bullets delivered in the last 3 years. Hornady on the other hand, a couple thousand in the same time period.

So they cost 2 bucks each ? Who cares ? Not for hunting woodchucks. Check sight in and kill animal --- 5 rounds.

Don't have to remember, I never forgot.
First thing to come to mind when the Hornady love fest started.


Darn shame too.

Sierra has gotten awfully proud of their common hunting bullets also.



Up the pole.
It's not about affording them, it is about spreading your cheeks
when the rainbow flag parade goes by.

Some, might get in in the end. But they aren't volunteering.

I believe Nosler has produced some of the finest bullets ever made available, but some of the "worst" will get the job done just as well in many situations (based on paying attention to others' experiences...my own kills have been with Nosler almost exclusively but I am open minded enough).

They'd best get their shit together or they'll be hsitory.

Touché my Man, well played.

I think it’s conceivable Nosler’s prices are possibly being affected by rising costs at all stages of production and shipping,

Been to a grocery store lately?

Hornady may be next.

There is no doubt rising prices for raw materials is affecting a lot of companies right now, including bullet companies. I have heard that lead is up over 200% and copper is up about the same in the last couple years. No company can absorb that kind of cost without raising their prices or closing the doors. Keeping employees these days also means offering more competitive salaries, benefits, and other allowances, which all cost money.

However, it seems the door has swung a bit too far to the high side . I'm convinced there is an awful lot of price gouging going on these days no matter if it is bullets, powder, or lumber... one of the reasons I started trying the Accubonds was due to the substantially lower price. I wanted to try the Ballistic Tip hunting but I just couldn't convince myself to use them on elk. Once I started looking at the Accubonds and found they were a bonded bullet (duhh), I tried them and the accuracy I always look for first was there and the BC was up to a decent standard so I bought several boxes in different calibers.

The other reason I stick with Nosler is that I have had a couple failures with Hornady Spire Point bullets- not the interlock, which I have had pretty fair success with. The Accubonds have recently taken a jump in price also, but I have enough to last me a while and I hope this pricing contest goes away before I have to buy more...

It's your money. Use it as you see fit. I sold some of my last partitions at the clubs gunshow last Saturday. I think it was 150 .277 150gr. (maybe 153 pcs if I remember more correctly) partitions for $75... I still have a bunch of 150gr 7mm Partitions that I can burn up though. Won't be buying anymore Noslers after that. Don't expect prices to go down any at all on them either. You can mark my words. How many of you guys have even been to the Nosler store in Bend?? That's what I thought.. The last bull elk fell to Hornady interlock and TTSX. Both of which are far less expensive than the partitions these days.

They're smoking a lot of dope over there in Bend OR evidently....

evidently they haven't heard there is a major recession going on in this country now...

Joe's not sending out anymore free money....

There are shortages on everything, to include jobs...

Guess their main clientele are all of these out of state Illegal dope growers, and then the Mexican ones ( cartels) and other foreigners
growing dope all over Oregon...

I'm an ex Nosler customer at this point...plain old Hornady 6.5 mm in 129 gr SP or 140 grain SP are working just fine for me...
at a much lower price point.... Speer even moreso.

Most assuredly it is Noslers fault dope became big in Oregon....and they sell all they can to the dopers and the Mexican cartel. Yea the cartel shooters love partitions. You need to go change a head casket. Tell me please...which machines do the cartel reloaders use? They go thru a lot of ammo, so it must be the best.

No InState dope growers, they are all from somewhere else????

w/ a $0.22 bullet (currently $0.44) like the Speer GS, it allows one to work up good loads, shoot a lot, and Then go out and kill game w/ it.

Just know the performance envelope, as it is a little smaller then the NP.

I have moved away from Nosler too. I feel they have priced their bullets far beyond what I consider to be fair market value. So, I have decided to work up loads using Barnes and Sierra Game Changers for all my rifles and put Nosler in my rear view mirror.

I am also with Ohio, it will take a good old fashion recession to cure the current indifferent attitude that many industries have towards their customers’ wants and needs. And-I believe this cure is going to happen in the not too distant future.

I got lucky a while back at a gun show. I was setting up my table when the guy next to me was setting up Guy was a lot older than me and seemed a bit feeble so I helped him get his stuff and put it on his table. He was just a reloader well stocked with bullets. He figured old age had caught up with him so wanted to sell out. He had mostly bullets and as we talked I saw he was getting tired and the show hadn't even opened up yet. Maybe a half hour before it opened. I asked what he would take for the whole batch of bullets and said $10 box. It took most of my working cash but well worth it. That stash will last a lot longer than me. Mostly .270, 7mm, and .308" bullets, roughly 5 to 7 boxes in each caliber in Nosler Partitions alone. Quite a bunch of Speer Hot Core and both versions of Grand Slams (Old and new style)as well. ai'll never run out as long as I live.

As much of a Nosler homer that I’ve been, I transitioned to Hornady a few years ago. I’ve never even seen a 150 gr 7mm AccuBond but I can find 150 gr 7mm ELDX easily.
