bullet":30ast6yf said:I never got an answer back from that letter I wrote them. I can understand why, because the cost of starting up a production of a new bullet is costly and the bean counters might not think there is enough return for the investment and I understand that. I know they listen and I appreciate that, but listening does not always translate into reality and I even understand that. Would be nice.

Mike,
Send a follow up letter to Nosler.
As Fotis mentioned, they do listen. In fact, the single biggest input that Nosler uses is this forum.
They do listen.

I can't say that animals would die any quicker with another twenty grains smacking them, but there are situations where I'd feel much better launching the extra mass.

Without a doubt. I am not truly put off by not having a Nosler 220, but it would be that much better if there was. Mike's field tests have shown me the 200 PT will get everything done that needs doing. I just like the idea of the heavier 220. Truthfully, I would be okay with a 325WSM and the 200 PT for hunting and never feel like the rifle/load was the weak link..
