Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Nosler pricing

Absolutely

No need for big dollars to kill deer.

Was just in the local SW picking up some N555. Walked down the bullet isle, and sure enough, there's the boxes of NPT for $80 out the door.

Someone's real proud of those NPTs...

At that price, switch to Barnes TTSX. You'll never look back.

This ^.
Way overpriced compared to Hornady, been that way for the 20 years I've been handloading.

Nosler has and still does make good bullets but Nosler bullets are getting too expensive and sometimes hard to find in stock. i am switching to Hammer bullets their always in stock and price is not that bad . if you are just shooting smaller meat deer any good bullet works fine , but myself i load better bullets and wait for a chance on a decent buck my meat hunting days is over i let the family shoot the smaller deer.

If they sell all they make, then they priced them correctly.

There you go, defending Capitalism again.

I've always been a fan of Nosler bullets but they won't be selling any more to me at the current price point. There are plenty of other alternatives. I shoot older rifles so I'm not sure if the twist rates are favorable for the Hammer bullets but I might give them a try. I just bought 100 Hornady 6MM 95gr SST's for under $40.

I have got some good deals on Nosler match Bullets on SPS lately . If you check them often ,you would be surprised at what you find . When I find a good price I load up on that item . That includes bullets ,powder and primers .

For 50, plus shipping? Not too bad but not a bargin.

The only Nosler I have ever bought were blems from SP at $13/box foro180 gr Partitions and some 139Gr AB"s for $18/box. I won't be buying any more unless they get cheap again. I can kill just as many deer, elk, and pronghorn with cheaper C&C's

Yes...but...just because so far x-number of rich guys don't value their money, doesn't mean it's a sustainable business practice. Only so many guys willing to pay more than something is worth. Meaning, everyone else with a similar product is outselling them.

Sorta like the retards handing over double what stuff is worth at an auction or for toilet paper during covid

love the accuracy of the 120 & 150 BT's in my 7x57 & 280 respectively... local farm store offered a stiff 1 time discount for signing up for an in store rewards card... i loaded in @ $26 a box... only wish i'da bought all the 168 gn 308's for my oh-six... dang card company rejected me later, musta' gave em bad data... more than 1 way to skin a cat...

While the Hammers are always in stock ,at $82 for a box of 50 with tax and shipping still to be added they are up there. Want to try some of their .411 offerings in my 405 win, at $110 for 50 wanting might be as far as it goes.

So Ferrari is in danger of closing and isn't viable because Toyota sells so many cars? I'm not calling Nosler the Ferrari of bullets but absent seeing their books, we have no way of knowing what is/isn't a sustainable business practice for a company 76 years old. Just because there are cheaper options doesn't mean the more expensive option isn't viable. See every luxury brand - ever.

If they're selling all the bullets they make at 80 a box and HAVEN'T surpassed that in COGS - then it's likely sustainable until it isn't, at which point they'll move pricing down.

Those same cup n core bullets work on mature bucks just the same as on smaller "meat" deer.

Even a mature buck is only about 250# max. Hardly a large hard to kill critter.

I still have about 200, maybe more of the 140 Ballistic Tips for the 7-08 and have quite a few 90s for the 6mm.

No more than I shoot of the Nosler bullets in these guns I will keep buying some along the way.

Nosler can run things however they like. I can spend my money however I like. I will say that the Accubonds and Partitions are no longer worth the asking price in my book. $75-80 per 50ct for their 7mm or .30cal hunting bullets is too steep when compared to other options on the market, especially for my needs.

Sort of. Nosler is a cup and core bullet. Hornady is as well.

Toyota and Ferrari isn't really a good comparison because they are not competing, for most people.

And they're not luxury. When the partition came out they might have been. But I can get another bullet that does whatever theirs does now, for less. And they're available.

Agreed and how I see it. But I also am not going to declare Nosler dead because they're expensive either. Especially since I believe they're making bullets every day while shelves being empty. Means people are buying them and I doubt at compressed margins compared to peers.

If someone is giving $75-80 per 50 then that's their fault, not Noslers.

A little shopping will find those bullets cheaper than that.
