I agree JG, but man they’re not supporting us like they used to and they’ve certainly taken advantage of the market to increase the heck out of their prices.

SPS has spit out a few 140 and 160 7mm's lately though, but I hear 'ya. I've got a decent stash so I'll consider myself lucky.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I sent an email to Nosler a couple months ago. Asked them to take me off their mailing list, until they quit with the drug cartel price list. Maybe when the democRATs get out of the White House, and quit running the Senate, Nosler will settle down and get back to being part of the real world.

I stopped by my LGS looking for bullets for my 6.5X55. They had several boxes of Hornady 140gr SST 100/box $49.99 they also had a box or two of Nosler 140 Accubonds $69.99/50. I went with the Hornady's. I have several boxes of Accubonds in 6.5, 30, 35, 7MM & 375 but when there gone they won't be replaced.
jorgeI I have my 300 H&H sighted in with 200gr Accubonds for an upcoming Gemsbuck hunt. No Partitions available here and I've had the Accubonds for a couple of years. We will see how they perform ABs will work just fine. They are great bullets and much more accurate than Partitions.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I love Nosler's. I use the Accubonds, Ballistic Tips and E-Tips for almost all my rifles. That being said their prices are horrible. I'm using 100 round boxes of 180 grain .308 Ballistic Tips with $14 price tags. Them I go to SPS and see 50 round bags of blemished bullets for 20 something dollars.

Nosler moving their entire operation to Redmond, Oregon. That’s where ammunition plant is located at. I had an opportunity to talk to the QA manager at camp perry. He said Nosler, has to buy their powder like everyone else from powder valley, grafs etc. Hodgdon will not sell bulk to them like varget, H4831 etc, primers they trade bullets for them from Winchester and federal. It was a very good conversation. He left me with this how many planes does Steve Hornady own? How many planes does John Nosler own??
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

You never hear people bitching about the price of Barnes bullets. Few yrs ago pre Covid you could get 180tsx for what 30-35-40 bucks. Now days 48-50 bucks if not more.

Steve Hornady has a couple planes and Nosler doesnt OK then sounds like Nosler needs to take some lessons from Hornady as he sells bullets cheaper than they do.
I am sure they all live a better life than 99% of the people buying their products

I'd be curious to know if Hogdon has that policy for all or for just Nosler and why.

There are powders they can get in bulk if i remyright TAC was one of them, but when it comes to powders like varget and other high demand powder. They are like the rest of us.

ABs will work just fine. They are great bullets and much more accurate than Partitions. Could not agree more.

Barnes has not doubled their prices like nosler. In my neck of the woods pre-covid nosler partitions and accubonds cost about 50-55$ a box, current going price is 100-110$ CAD. Barnes TSX/ TTSX was around 50$- now 60-65$, big difference compared to Nosler. Once my Nosler stock pile dries out i wont be going out buying Nosler's at current prices unless price comes down to sane prices.

I do know that Hornady has been much more available, at a much better price and they are functional equals to anything Nosler has other than Partitions. What do planes have to do with that? I'd like to hear from MuleDeer about Hodgdon not selling directly to Nosler. Is that the industry standard?

They are pricing themselves out of the bullet business. Customers will turn to manufacturers that price their bullets cheaper. It doesn’t take a premium bullet to kill deer or pigs like most of us hunt. I do like their ballistic tips. Agreed 100%

People on here howl at the moon, how nosler outrageous prices are lining the pockets of John Nosler. John Nosler owns zero planes. While Steve Hornady owns 9.

What is your source on this, and what kind of planes? A bunch of planes out there worth significantly less than a new pickup.
