My thoughts exactly....I think they will live up to the advertised numbers and may be slightly better than advertised. Excited to to play with them!

The brown truck showed up last night. I think Nosler may have hit a home run with these! Time to throw some powder! Hopefully it'll stop snowing one of these days.....not sure if I can even get to the range with all this snow!

Just got the shipping notice from SPS today. Got 500 blems headed my way! I'll be testing them out of my 260. I'm really hoping that these will at least perform on par with the 140 Berger Hybrid that I'm currently shooting as they are significantly cheaper! I think I paid like $116 with...
Ok so there is mention of the new .338 265gr ABLR in the press release for the 33 nosler but I can't find anything on the actual new bullet. I'm very curious about it as it would be an awesome bullet in my 338 Lapua if the BC is close to where I'm estimating it.
Any one have the scoop on this...
The nose of the ABLR is very soft which is what allows it to expand down to 1300fps. I had this problem as well with the 129gr in my 260. I use Wilson neck dies and had to back off the neck tension to seat them without leaving a doughnut in the bullet nose. Polishing the seater may help I'd try...
Killing me that they announced it without having the BC calculated on several of them. That's like the key advertising piece of information on a bullet of that nature. Hopefully the 6.5 140gr will rival the Berger 140 hybrid.

I've been helping a good friend who caught the "long range" bug after going out shooting with me. We took his stock Rem 700 in 30-06 and replaced the scope with a vortex viper hs-t scope and a timney trigger. Worked up a load with the nosler 190gr ABLR and subsequently he caught the reloading...
Thanks Nathan. I'll get one ordered up for him.
Twist on the barrel is 1:8 and the 195 Berger is first on the list of bullets to try. The gunsmith is going to throat it to accommodate the 180-195 range bullets to be seated out long enough to take advantage of the full case capacity.
My Dad has been retired for quite a few years now and has never had a custom rifle. He's talked about doing one for forever now and I finally talked him into just going for it. So he came over and I assisted him with choosing parts. He was debating heavily between the 26/28 Nosler and we went...
Anyone know if Remington is still producing brass for the 260? Reason I ask is when I first got my 260 it was the only brass I could find locally and worked up a load that shoots tiny little groups. Can't seem to find any new brass though and needing to start replacing some old brass. Don't...
Was on my way back to town from a call at work and found several herds of elk out feeding before dark. The big herd had to have been 300 head.... Sat and watched them until dark. There were about 5 bulls that still had their head gear. Too bad I only had my cell phone for a camera!

I shot one almost end to end with a 129gr ABLR from my 260 Rem. Small entrance hole in the left hip about a 1" exit in the lower right part of the neck/chest. He didn't even wiggle. Impact was at 225 yards. He was going away from me with just a very slight angle. I was happy with the...
Love the #1's....always thought it would be pretty cool to have one chambered in 300H&H. That would be a classy rifle!
