New Nosler bullets

[bdbrown66]

I happened to notice two new bullets in the Nosler product line. Anyone here tried them yet?



Looks like these are designed for the 35 Rem, and perhaps the 360 Buckhammer, and similar. That boat tail is going to sit deep into the case, however.



It appears that the 300gr Ballistic Tip RN has disappeared, and this is the replacement. Should be a good 45-70 bullet, I would think.

Thoughts or experience with either of these?

Cheers,
Brian

If the 358 is meant for the 35 Rem, why the boattail? That cartridge will rarely, if ever be used out past 300 yards...or is it to make seating easier?
I am not sure at first glance that it would even have sufficient velocity in the 358 Win for reliable expansion, for use at that range, unless it can be pushed faster than 2600 fps and has a better BC than the Speer's 220 gr Hot Cor (.316).
(Which could achieve 2620 fps with a QL max load of 748 and retain 1908 fps @ 300 yards.)
NOTE: just checked; BC of .250
Now, in the 35 Whelen I can see it being used for longer shots where/if needed, where it could potentially retain sufficient velocity to past 300 yards for reliable expansion. Would have to run the numbers, but as it is a new bullet, it won't be listed in QL...
(The 200 gr AccuBond has a BC of .365, and with an initial velocity of 2800 fps retains 1950 fps at 400 yards.)

If Nosler would bring back the .458 (45-70) Partition bullet, no other bullets would be needed for the lever guns. LOL With a little luck, the new Partition would be 400gr rather than the original 300gr.
