Well I guess we know who the Nosler manuals are targeted at then - "Billy Bob". Given that I am not a Billy Bob, I guess I will just have to continue to get my data from other sources like Sierra, Hornady, Barnes, Hodgdon, etc. I am glad they don't target their manuals to Billy Bob. As far as...

I must disagree. Perhaps with some of the newer calibers the data is getting better, but I have found it very, very conservative when developing loads for the .25-06, .270 WCF, .308, .30-06, .300 Weatherby, etc. I always, without exception have to increase powder charges to get decent velocity...

I may be mis-informed, but I have always believed that brush busting capabilities of bullets is way over exagerrated. Any bullet regardless of design, caliber, etc. is subject to be thrown off course by even the smallest twig it connects with. Expansion after hitting a twig would not be my first...

Just for my education, why would I choose a different bullet if hunting timber, versus open areas?

Will book No. 6 have more realistic load data than previous versions? No offense, but I rarely use Nosler data any more as I find your data is way below industry norms. I always have had to work up considerably from your data in order to get an accurate, normal velocity load. Looking forward to...

Thanks for the feedback! :)

I am a big fan of the Nosler 2nds. Can you tell me what differences I will see with them as compared to the firsts (i.e. weight, size, accuracy, terminal perf., etc.)? Specifically the Accubonds, BT's, and Partitions. I have had good luck with them so would guess there is no accuracy or...

What is the difference between the solid base and the BT? Are the bullets constructed the same but with a Polymer or lead tip? What is the difference in performance? Thanks!

For .25-06, .270WCF and WSM, 7.21 Firebird, .30-06, .300 Wby, H4350 H4831 H1000 Retumbo H50BMG R19 R22 R25 AA3100 AA8700 IMR4350 IMR4831 IMR7828

Nosler is an awesome company with awesome products. However, I do agree that the relaoding data is very conservative. When doing my research for load data, I almost never consider the Nosler data as it falls way short of expectations. In this department, Nosler could take a few tips from the...

I can't wait to see the 110 GR. in .257! Perfect for my .25-06. How about a 120 Gr. in .284? It would be an excellent long range medium game load in my 7.21 Firebird. It should be able to push it at about 3800-3900 F.P.S. That is a lazer beam!

Is the brass trimmed? Where will it be distributed? What will the pricing be?
