Heavier 6mm hunting bullet - Nosler listening?

[orchemo]

With the 6mm Creedmoor seeing more and more popularity, time for Nosler to up their hunting bullet options.

100 gr Partition - probably the best choice currently

How about a 105 to 108 gr ballistic tip? I don't mind some fragmentation.

Doubtful, haven’t released anything worth noting in many years.

Agreed, doubtful is a good assessment of the situation.
They can sell all the bullets of the current design they can make, so spending R&D funds on new niche bullet weights seems unlikely.

Hornady made a 105 gr. bullet for a while but they discontinued it. They also dropped the 100 gr. spire point flat base as well. (Strong very bad language group needed at this point)

Unless I’m mistaken, they still make a 105gr gr in 6mm. Not a “hunting” bullet but I have used it on antelope and it did the job. They also make 108gr Eld-m as well as 110gr a-tip. You’re more likely to see a 115gr-120gr Eld-m from Hornady than a 105gr from Nosler IMO. Nosler is about 3 steps behind at this point…

Berger has an Elite Hunter at 108grs. That is the heaviest hunting bullet for 6mm that I know of.

One of the Nosler marketing guys shoots at the rifle club I belong to. Bought a rifle from him in the past. Chatted with him a few weeks ago at the range.

Sounds like I need to put a bug in his ear !!!!
