2014 Bullet Wish List

More options in .35

I want a big, fat, heavy Balistic tip for deer and a big, heavy, sleek and sexy LRAB in .35.
 
ABLR:
.30 Cal 225 gr.
.264 cal 140 gr.

Have yet to get my hands on any of the 210 ABLR's. From my research. it'd BC is closer to .630 9about the same as a 210 Berger VLD. ) But, I would much rather have the terminal effects of a AB than a Berger. Plus, I just had a brand new barrel chambered for .050 freeborn. Seems like a good compromise between a 215 Berger and a 225 gr ABLR
 
My wish list for bullets for next year



.224 AB of 50-55 grains something that will shoot out of 14 twist that a lot of us have in our 22 hot rods.
.224 ETip that will shoot out of a 14 screw just to be able to save a few pelts from time to time

.358 ABLR somewhere between 225-240 or so grains so it will shoot in a 16 twist something to give us 35 shooters (35 Whelen 358 win and 350 rem mag) more reach to go with our big hunks of flying lead.


.308 Btip of 200-220 grains with a nice heavy shank for us 300 win mag shooters who want to reach out in high winds on top of a mountain and smoke a once in a lifetime bighorn Sheep

.264 Etip 100 grains for the smaller .264's

6.5- .264, 100-110gr AccuBond. 6.5 Grendel hunting bullet.

Prefer a 108 gr ABLR so you can sell it as a target/hunting bullet.

Or a 90 gr E-Tip.

Here's one for ya.

Try and get the BC around .465 like the 108 Scenar. Instead of an empty nose like the SMK and Scenar give it a long poly nose to match the 108 Scenars length and BC. The nose doesn't have to be as long as the 750 gr A-MAX but .30 to .40" long. Been wondering the last couple years why poly noses are so short when high BCs sell bullets.

As a bonus, because the junction between the nose and core is a larger diameter the bullet will be extremely easy to tune. Want to make it a varmint bullet, make the cavity and poly insert larger. The hunting bullet gets a smaller cavity and poly insert. The smallest cavity version is for the larger/higher velocity cartridges either target or hunting. Otherwise it's the same jacket, core, length, BC and therefore cheaper to produce.

Some excellent ideas already I would like to see:

6.5mm 140-150 gr ABLR
277 160-165 gr ABLR
358 225-250 gr ABLR whatever is the longest to stabilize in a 1 in 16 twist.
358 200 gr E Tip
6.5mm 150 gr Bonded Solid Base
277 160-165 Bonded Solid Base
358 275 gr Bonded Solid Base

Having the BSB bullets in a protected point style would be nice maybe even a boattail design kind of like the Fedreal Fusion but much tougher of course.

With all these new bullets starting to come out, it gets me to thinking and wishing for next year.
This is the time to let Nosler see what you want/need for next year.

ABLR
243 cal 95 gr
257 cal 115 gr
338 cal 250 gr
358 cal 225 gr

AB
416 cal 350 gr

PT
7mm cal 120 gr
429 cal 250 gr (Hand Gun)
458 cal 300 gr

What do you fellas want/need?

JD338

And some 220's for the 8mm!

I guess I could live with what I have now. I said I wasn't going to mess with the new ABLR's and I went knee deep with the 168's and 150's!!
 
You know boys one thing about living in this lead free country...it makes the wish list a whole lot shorter and easier.

How about a 210 gr. .358 E-tip with a decent BC

A 250gr. Lead free pistol bullet than I can use in both my .44 magnum Redhawk and my 444P Marlin

Also a 225 or 230gr. E tip for my .340 Weatherby would be much appreciated lol

Almost forgot...something lead free and 300+ grains for my 45-70

...well, maybe Scotty will get a .325 WSM fer XMas, so we can get some 220gr. 8mm ABLR's!!! :roll: :lol: :mrgreen:

This, I would happily settle for 220s in regular ABs but the ABLRs in .323 would be the cat's pajamas.

I got my G&A magazine in yesterday and they had an article about how Nosler is selling loaded ammo and tapping a low sales but yet high income niche market on stuff like that. I've bought their loaded ammo before and it is pricey, but it's damn good too. So, I don''t need their loaded ammo any more but bring on the 220s in .323.
 
200gr and 225gr Ballistic tip in .358.... I love the premium PT and AB bullets, but would love some cheaper options.
 
HavasuMike,

Welcome to the forum; glad to have you aboard. I note this is your first post. May I encourage you to wander over to http://www.noslerreloading.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22761, and give us an introduction. I know there are several fellows from AZ who would enjoy meeting you. Of course, that is presumptuous on my part, as I assume you hail from somewhere around Lake Havasu, or you are at least familiar with the area. Again, welcome. Hope to see you posting regularly and joining in the fun.

For the 325WSM, 220 grain AB bullets! Or even 225 grain AB bullets!
If that happened, I would be inclined to purchase a 325WSM (especially if made in a Nosler Professional) :!:
