I loved ours while we had it.
great store, knowledgeable employees, and fair prices. great selection of reloading components.
alas.... too good to last. they closed it about 5 years ago.

I use the 225 PT too, but the effective range with it is a bit limited.
Nosler says it has a BC of .430, but I've not seen that bear out at the range. it also seems highly unlikely that the 225 PT and the 225 AB have identical (0.430) BC's.... but that's how its listed in their manuals.

if any of you have personal experience using the 200 AB in a 358 Win (ideally in a BLR), I'd MUCH appreciate a report. That way I can live vicariously through you..... and dream of days at the range with tiny groups and blistering...
alas, I am south of you.... in Texas.

my search continues.
does anyone have any experience loading these for .358 Winchester?
if I cant load them, I'd at least like to live vicariously through somebody else.... :)

I've traded email with the Nosler technician who manages their inbox, and he's in the same spot.... (has a .358 win blr and wants to try...
I've been searching the reloading world over, and have not been able to find a box of Nosler 200 grain AB's in .358.
if anyone knows of a place that has them, or if they have a partial box they wouldnt mind selling, I'd be very, very interested.
I presently load the 225 PT in my .358 Win...
