I've been sheltering a lot of them in my loading room... 
20 cal, 6mm, 25 cal, and 30 cal... Not burning 'em up for practice right now, that's for sure!

That's been a favorite mule deer combo for me, the 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip from my 25-06 rifle. Accurate, easy shooting and works GREAT on deer sized game.

They're one of my favorite whitetail bullets over a max charge of IMR 4831. I have hundreds of the 100gr BTs that I inherited, but the 115s evade me.I've been sheltering a lot of them in my loading room...

They come available often, but disappear in a few minutes. I get shootingbot notifications a few times a week that the various calls/weights are in stock somewhere.

My buddy has been looking for 7mm 160 Accubonds and .308 180 Accubonds for a looooooog time.
Personally, I'm interested in a 250ct box of 6mm 55gr BTs.

Charlie,
I just got 3 bags of 308 180 gr AB over runs from SPS. These are the Winchester Lubalox coated red tip bullets.

They're on the first shelf down in my reloading room though I'm down to a couple thousand myself between all calibers....
Seriously though they pop up fairly often depending on what calber/weight you're looking for and if you're willing to pay the asking price. SPS has a couple options at the moment.

I'm beginning to feel like somebody doesn't want people who shoot big guns to have any bullets or primers for them.Seems like plenty available if you shoot a 5.56,22lr or pistols,but if you are shooting a cartridge in 7mm or 30cal and you want a Nosler bullet for it,you've been S.O.L. for a couple of years now.6.5's and now 270 since the 6.8 Westerner came out are more likely to be available,but the others have been limited or non-existent.I'm glad to have what I have and have it for the price I paid for it,but anything that I might find to buy now is going to cost me a bunch more.I'm going to shoot my 22lr's more and shoot my bigger guns a lot less just to conserve my primers,powders and bullets.This lack of availability has to be killing the retailers too.Kinda since less to buy a new rifle if you can't find or make ammo for it.

I use them for plinking. I have bullets I like better for hunting. Had a couple of bad experiences with the BT hunting with them on deer and pronghorns. Never any trouble with Nosler PAR, Barnes TTSX or LRX and the Swift bullets

If you've got some 7mm 154 gr or 139 gr SST's we could work something out. LOL
