New Manual Estimated Time of Arrival?

[Partagas]

I have heard that different gun writers have been commissioned to write for the Nosler 6 manual. Does anyone know when that is supposed to come out?

 

[muskegman]

Gee whiz, the #5 has been out for what, about a year and you expect a new one already? I think they typically come out every 3-4 years. I thought they did a good job covering the new bullets and calibers with the #5.

Does the no. 5 have the remington short mags in it?

I bought my #5 back in May 2002.
There is load data for the 300SAUM, full range of bullet weights.
No data on the 7mmSAUM or the WSM offerings.

There is data for the WSM's in #5, just not 7mm. It has been out for a couple of years. It takes us roughly 16-24 months to complete a manual.

So should we be expecting a 6th one pretty soon?

 

[NOSLER]

That really depends on how many new cartridges are introduced between now and 2006. If there are no new significant suprises, I would anticipate a new manual in late 2006.

Fair enough....I guess!

Why doesn't Nosler have any info on the 7mm remington ultra mag. I phoned the customer line and was told that nosler didn't have any info on it and didn't plan on having any.

 

[NOSLER]

We don't feel comfortable with the data we have produced for that cartridge. Crazy pressure spikes. It is fine in a controlled ammunition round, but since we can't control people going above max loads, not worth it.

It would be nice to have some data on all the accubonds , as that is all I
use, Except my 22.250.
