Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Nosler pricing

Near term, we should have something about this time next week to share (available to buy). Plenty of longer lead time plans in the works as well. I'm not a fan of selling anything before I have eyes on.

I understand completely. Please PM me when you have some....

BAM! Thanks RRP,
For that ginormous pile of fairly priced bullets.........

Thanks for that order. You definitely got the last of some stuff I can't replace right now. I get asked for those 9.3mm bullets and 200gr 30 cal bullets every few days...

For all the Nosler fans who want a good deal on Nosler Bullets, we have:

New Nosler 22 Cal 64gr Bonded Solid Base bullets in stock for about 25 cents each. That's lower than SPS (who is selling blems) and a lot lower than Midway etc for New stuff. We sell them in bulk (that's the buy 1000 ct price) and it includes free shipping. These projectiles use the accubond technology and are good for defeating barriers or hunting. We don't carry a lot of Nosler products because it's harder to make money on a lot of them right now, but these bullets are really popular with our 22 Cal shooters looking for a high performance bullet.

Fingers crossed, and triple wishing, it'll be the .30 180 grain BondStrike for handloading...

I've only shot about 10 pigs with a 143 Bondstrike from a 6.5PRC, but performance has been excellent as you'd think. Reminds me of an accubond.

Thanks for the deal. It's very rare that the most deadly bullet ever made for the 9.3 also happens to be the most affordably priced.

On lighter skin game like wirey caribou, or black bear I've found that the heavily constucted 286 grain partitions or 300 grain Swifts don't expand as wide or as quickly. So that "shock" isn't there. The caribou will continue to stay upright, even after fatally hit. No biggey, but you question yourself, then pump another expensive bullet into the caribou as it's running or trotting away. You only realize how unnecessary that second shot was, when you get to the downed caribou.

The 325 oryx is a whole different animal. The expansion is freakishly wide, but all that weight, itll penetrate as deep as anything. We're talking 3/4" wide expansion, no matter near or far. The skiving on the nose is precise and radical. Don't let Norma discontinue this sleeper of a fkn bullet.

Same deal with the 30 cal 200 grain oryx. It doesnt impede powder capacity and allows a 308 winchester or 30-06 to punch way above its weight class. Radical expansion near or far.

I hope your happy with yourselves ravenrocks. The cheaply priced 325 grain oryx bullets put my 416 ruger out of commission. No more $137 per box of dgx bonded ammo.

PRVI brass and 325 grain oryx is now my main-squeeze-moose load, in a cheap FN mauser jes-rebore. Which is the whole point of the 9.3x62: keeping it cheap, but as effective as the fancy sht.

Good to hear all that Mainer, appreciate the on the ground real world experience with Oryx bullets, i bought a chit-ton of 7mm 170gr and 358 cal 250gr Norma oryxs' from RRP, bullets will be used in pre-64 model 70 7X57mm and 358 Norma mag rifle, RRP is a great outfit and supplier, with very fair prices.

I was able to get several lifetimes supply of those awesome little 120 BT @ 9.99 a few years back. My kids kids wont have to worry. Well, maybe about powder and primers.

I check back now and again, but not frequently (enough). I wont buy anything at gouge prices. Clinton taught me to stock up on shootybang type things when there are sales.

Need to get into archery more, make all this moot. The primer thing is frustrating.

Hornady and Sierra bullets have always worked well for me, I too buy many here on the 'Fire not so much in the stores since the outrageous pricing.

I was able to to.pick up a bunch of NAB for my .375 from SPS about ten years ago. I don't recall the pricing, but it was reason at the time. I'm glad I did, they performed well in a moose I shoot. I have checked around on prices. I see no need to buy anything Nosler due to their prices. I'll live with what I have, when It's gone I will move on.
The days of being able to hunt with lead is rapidly coming to an end. Any new component will be mono-metal.

I'm sorry it's not going to be the 30 cal Bondstrike bullet. The majority of those produced are going into loaded ammunition.

As for those 325gr 9.3mm bullets, I'll relay that along. Glad you're enjoying them. We had probably less than 40 boxes of them all together. I think you might have the biggest stash right now. Try to conserve them because I don't have any idea when we'll see more of them...

Here is usually the first place I post a WTB ad when wanting new bullets. Never had any I wanted not be available by users here and usually far more than I need from multiple people having them.

I got a tour through Nosler on Friday. It was instructive to see just how much is involved in making premium bullets rather than simple cup and core offerings.

It's a whole more more in steps, machines, etc.

At a time when I'm paying $30 and more for lunch for two people, and when I'm not really going to shoot a lot of Accubonds or Partitions at elk, I'll shoot the Ballistic Tips on paper (and maybe on deer) and shoot a few of the premiums on game.

Also, Nosler is in the process of gearing up for much more production. It might not lower prices, but I bet it helps a lot on availability.

Sounds like an interesting tour. Production might increase (did you happen to ask why they are so scarce?) if the cost doesn't go down so they are more competitive I still won't be buying any more.

Clearly a lot of Nosler bullets go into Nosler loaded ammo. Many more go to other ammo companies for loaded ammo.

New facilities are already being used, and more are being built. Could take two or three years, but I think we'll see a lot more available.

Tom,

The last time I toured the Nosler plant they had just acquired more property in Redmond, around a dozen miles north of Bend. They planned to move some of the manufacturing there, due to being unable to expand the "old" plant in the middle of Bend. Their writer contact told me a few months ago that's been happening, and going well--especially considering the increase in demand for all sorts of stuff.

John

I have a hard time getting past that. Plus... Never been a fan of Hornady rifle bullets. Their pistol bullets are fine though.

Does he also want you to misspell his last name?

How long has nosler been in business? Maybe they have the whole sustainable business practice thing figured out.
