I'm hesitant to even post this, as it seems petty, but it's become an irritation and so I figured maybe the folks at Nosler would like to know how I feel. I recently picked up a box of 168gr .308cal Ballistic Tips for load work in a 30-06. No problem with the bullets, but I was a little surprised at the new packaging. It's thinner and not as robust as the old Nosler packaging. I understand that part - it's cost savings, I'm sure. Okay, so I like the old, heavier box, but I can live with thinner boxes, as long as they hold the bullets. But this box doesn't have any kind of "clip" or tab to tuck in to keep it closed, and as such it's flopping around open on my bench. As long as I don't have to move it or anything near it, no problem. But when I need to actually work around the load bench, I've had to deal with this floppy cardboard thing with a lid that won't stay closed, and frankly, it's a pain in the rear.
To the team at Nosler, I understand the cost cutting - and I don't mind it - but at least let's make the box functional. Hornady, Speer, Barnes, and even Sierra (who I don't care for and won't use) offer decent boxes. Can you please find a different closure for the box? Just something that will stay closed when it's closed, on the bench. Please?????
Alright, I'm done whining. I'll be saving my few remaining old-style Nosler boxes when I empty them, and reusing them with tape labels so I can keep my bench clean. But I hope Nosler will get a different box.
