Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Nosler pricing

Folks-

I know this has been discussed many times on here but I've never heard a legimate answer that made sense. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS NOSLER PRICING?????? I refuse to pay for them now. Yes, they are premium but good grief............Is it just plain greed or what? I know many that won't buy any more at the current pricing. Surely the bean counters can see this.

Many thanks

I can't figure it out. Obviously inflation is affecting everything, but Nosler's increases seem to have far outpaced Speer and Hornady. Sierra seems to have fallen in between them in price.

Why matters not, and there are certainly a lot of alternatives these days. I stopped checking SPS because they had so little in stock and blem prices were about the same as online prices of firsts.

EDIT: Just checked and saw that nothing’s changed at SPS, except that they had a lot of stuff for sale, still at high prices for blems IMO. I suppose if you can’t find the ones you want elsewhere, they are an option.

I guess I haven't bought much Nosler stuff lately, but the Sierra pricing sure has jumped the last year two

John Nosler had kids....those kids had kids...then those kids had kids...very few of whom seem inclined to get off the family gravy train. And last I heard none of them started at the bottom.

Maybe MD knows and just can't tell......LOL. It has to affect the company bottom line I would think. The only legitimate thing I can think of is they secured a military contract awhile ago ( and didn't tell anyone ) and production is dedicated to mostly that. I can't think of anything else. Oh well................there are other avenues but I really like ballistic tips and partitions.

Yup. I like to shoot MKs because they’ve always been so accurate, but $.52 each for .22 bullets?😱

I’m gonna stop looking for bargain bullets and just concentrate on shooting up what I have on hand, which is is considerable. Already paid for is cheaper than any sale price, and my pallbearers will appreciate it if I don’t take the leftovers with me……

Maybe they got their pricing philosophy from Sitka?

just wait till the new powder prices get caught up.. we're all going to be wishing it was just 50 bucks a pound
this was coming the other day from my local wholesaler

I quit buying new bullets at retail years ago, unless I see something I’ve really been unable to locate on the secondary market. If you peruse the classifieds of this site and others, all manner of projectiles become available at great prices.

.

A case of shotgun shells that used to be $52 are two years later $78...8 pounds of 4350 is around $400....$2000 SA shotguns....

And the Nosler kids aren't getting a penny of it.....

They have always been mighty proud of their cshit

Because there are dumbasses that will pay it ?

They had reason to be....

The days of a past decades pricing is long gone.....and it isn't coming back.

SPS just had 7mm 150 AB's for $33, 150 BT's for $26. Is that out of line?

I think you’re right there. Every time someone says something about inflation slowing down, I think, maybe, but we’re still stuck with where it took prices before.

I don’t think it’s crazy myself. It’s their 1sts that seem way outta line. But a bullet or 100 is still the least expensive part of my hunt.

Yep. Good deals sometimes

A box of 7MM 160 grain Accubonds was $75 at my LGS!! That's just absurd. Hornady bullets seem to be readily available and much much cheaper. I have ALWAYS used the 100 grain partition in my 243 and 6MM rifles but not when there $1+ apiece. I got some Barnes TTSX and will be giving those a try along with some Hornady BTSP.
Powder is just as bad. The LGS has Varget at $68/lb. I have three pounds that was $36/lb a year or two ago.

I just bought 300 150 gr. Hornady IL .308's @ 25.00 per hundred from one of my LGS's. They'll kill my deer every bit as dead as Noslers BT's or accubonds.
