Allow me to introduce you to.....
Wait for it......
Mr. Pipe Dream
And...
Mr. Pipe Dream, please allow me to introduce you to Fotis.
He's looking for two impossible things at once.
Availability, and affordability.
Mr.Pipe Dream: from what company?
Me: Nosler. He wants that from Nosler.
Mr. Pipe Dream:
Certainly Fotis jest in merriment.
Me:
I'm just the messenger.

Okay how about availability and maybe 25 count boxes we can afford those can't we??? 
Well at least they did not shrink the bullets weights yet. Imagine buying 180 grain but only weighing 177 grain. Kind of like what they did to food packaging and lumber.Okay how about availability and maybe 25 count boxes we can afford those can't we???

How about a 300 grain E-Tip for 45-70? Barnes has some pretty great mono HP’s that always seem hard to find.
Edit: we might be able to afford seconds. Lol

I think on my wish list would be some heavier .257 stuff. Hornady’s about to release the 25 Creedmoor and there’s nothing besides Hammer and a few other companies that produce stout .257 heavies. A 115gr E-Tip or 125gr ABLR would suffice

YES, YES and YES!!!Okay how about availability and maybe 25 count boxes we can afford those can't we???
Listen...
I'd take some availability right now. Even a little bit...
I haven't seen 30 cal 180gr. Ballistic Silvertip bullets since Vietnam. Maybe not that far back but it sure seems like it.
Seriously...
The very #1 sku in the BST lineup..the 180 gr 30 cal...I haven't seen in years.
It's so bad I actually have a company I am working with to coat them for me with the same type of stuff.
I stopped shooting my 30 magnums because of that very thing as what I have as stock has dwindled to two boxes or so. That's it.
I did come across some 168gr BST's so I bought a box to see if they shoot ok...
But this whole thing just annoys me and I know when covid was going on and the inventory from all mfg's was bad...(Nosler was borderline pathetic) one bullet company picked up many new customers was Honrady. They added another shift and hired more workers.
You'd go into a shop during the covid time and shelves were bare but there would be a sea of red on the shelf and it wasn't because nobody was buying them.
H did a great job in keeping shooters....shooting.
Why do I like the coated BST's so much? Everything is the same as the regular BT's except the cleaning. The fouling is no different but it's much easier to get that bbl into a mirror finish after using the BST's versus regular BT's.
Which to me if the most important part. I see some guys talking about putting their bbl inside an igloo or using a blanket from the freezer between shots...LOL...
but for me it's cleaning. That is my quirk type thing.
Cleanliness is right next to godliness...or accuracyness. Or something like that.
