Welcome aboard! I can understand your frustration, and honestly it seems there isn't a clear answer as to when more Nosler products will be readily available again. A bunch of folks, including myself, have found replacement bullets to suit our needs, and secured a stock of them. Should things ever stabilize, I'd happily stock up on my favorite Noslers again. I don't know about that particular bullet, but quite often blemished/seconds of AB's, NP's, and BT's show up at SPS. Don't let the blemished or seconds deter you, it's mostly minor cosmetic flaws, I've bought and shot a BUNCH without a hiccup. Just have to be Johnny on the spot when they appear in stock.

If you want to keep shooting and or hunting then you absolutely positively need to find an alternative.
We all enjoy Nosler bullets (hence being here) but you can't enjoy what you can't get.
Nosler is not the hobby nor bigger than the hobby itself.
Perhaps someday they'll be plentiful again but until then there are many fine bullets available to you just as lethal and just as accurate.
If there is any silver lining to this it's that trying a new bullet will force you to work up a new load and go shooting.
Time on the reloading bench and shooting are always a great thing!!
Might I ask what caliber are you needing it for and what game are you hunting

I’ve a box I bought so the hoarders wouldn’t get them all. What do you have to trade. I’m partial to 140 grain Ballistic tips (284).

That was my first thought also. I didn't see any with a quick search.

Ive got a box of 284 cal 140 gr BT's that I have no use for. What other 284 cal bullets do you have?

Probably have some 150s, really like running the 140s in my 275 Rigby but have not settled on a load. I’ll take a look in the shop and figure out what trading stock I have. If Millerc4 doesn’t want to trade we can work something out.
