Noslers for everything?

[Guy Miner]

Sort of crept up on me - unexpectedly... I shoot and load for a number of different rifles, both hunting and target rifles. Have always had a mix of different bullets - but recently noticed that I'm doing a whole lot of loading w/Nosler bullets - without really planning on it.

.45-70 - in the process of making the switch to Nosler's 300 gr Partition. It's got a great reputation on game up to the size of elk.

.300 RUM - have 200 gr Partitions and 200 gr Accubonds on hand...

.30-06 - favorite bullets are the 165 & 180 gr Partitions

.308 - match load - 155 & 168 gr Nosler comp bullets

.308 - hunting load - 165 Noslers

.308 - varmint load - 125 Noslers

7mm Rem mag - one of my all-time favorites - the 175 Partition

.25-06 - gulp - not Nosler'd yet - but working on it... :grin:

6mm Rem - 95 Ballistic tips & 100 gr Partitions

.204 Ruger - just getting started with this one - not Nosler'd yet...

Amazing... bit by bit the doggone Nosler boxes have taken over my reloading room!

:shock: Be careful - these things will sneak up on ya! :grin:

I'm with ya Guy!
I'm Noslers Biggest fan!
Used my first Nosler bullets 25+ years ago in my 30-06, 150 gr PT's to take Antelope, WT Deer and a Black Bear.

Yep, I can safely say that Noslers have killed more game and put more bullets downrange then any others COMBINED for me..

Guy, you need to get that 25 loaded with some 85-100g NBT's for varmints/coyotes, I think you'd like it. Not a whole lot different then your 6mm Rem though..But an 85g NBT at 3600fps is great coyote medicine!

I only have 2 rifles a 22-250 and a 25/06. the 250 right now gets 52 gr A-max bullets, as these are supplied to me and are very accurate. If I was loading I would switch to the bal tip.

The 25/06 gets 115 gr bal tips as I like to stick with 1 bullet and I don't save alot of fur I need "dead" coyotes and can use this same setup for deer or antelope as well. If a need a arrises I just switch to 115 partitions and point of impact change is very little.

Big fan of nosler bullets and I like the higher BC than most others and like the ct bullets.

Yep, I'm about 95% myself. I do use hornady 220 and 225 gnrs in 375 winchester because nosler doesnt make a bullet for that and also loaded 40 gr hornadys in 221 fireball since I ran out of 40 gr bts 2nds and I'm too cheap to pay for firsts

 

[fredj338]

If they made a 380gr-400gr fo rmy 404jeffery, all of my hunting bullets would be Partitions. For now I just have to settle on using them in my 260ai, 280, 7mmDakot, 30-06 338-06 & 338x74K.
