Nosler bullets

[KYBOY]

Whos tried the nosler muzzlelaoding bullets? How was the terminal ballistics?

Nosler Partitions are in a league with Barnes Expanders.... excellent overall bullet for 150 yards or less.

I think Mr. Mayhem covered that quite well. the only thing I would change is out to "175" easy and 200 if you do your part - making the proper sight adjustments....

I am hoping you are talking Nosler Partition bullets....

One of the Noslers I shoot is the 300 grain .458 (45-70) bullet which is a regular rifle bullet - I use this particular bllet for elk hunting and I drop back to the 260 for deer.

Yes, the partitions. I have been using PB's for the most part. Thinking of switching. I just hate to lose that easy loading.

My Omega likes them.

Really you do not have to loose the easy of loading - well just a little bit - there are so many different sabots out there today to fit a variety of 50 cal barrels you can find find the right one for your barrel...

Exanple MMP makes three diofferent .451.452/50 cal sabots (actually 4 but the fourth is the old style plastic)

MMP - HPH-12 - thickest variety of the sabot - Hornandy bullets usually come with this sabot and in most guns are difficult to load..

MMP - HPH-24 - This is probably the most sold variety and is thinner than the 12... I use this in my Remingtons, A&H, Omega, GM sidelock barrels, TC barrels

MMP - HPH-3p-EZ load the thinnest variety for those really tight barrels - comparable to the TC super glide sabot.

Harvester Regular Long petal sabot - comparable to the HPH-24

Harvester Regular Short petal sabot - comparable again the 24 but with shorter petals for the 240 250 260 class bullet

Harvester Crush Rib sabot for really tight barrels like the 3p-EZ load sabot

What rifle are you shooting?

I have not shot enough of the ML bullets to remark, but have had some real bad times working with the partition pistol bullets in a sabot.  Would not waste my time with the HG bullets unless you are loading very light.

Hey, I'm a big precision rifle bullet fan.  But, I've seen Jim Shockeys commercials of the Nosler muzzleloader bullets he uses.  They are quite tempting.  Since I only shoot 80 grains of 777, I would like to see some real life results of how they actually perform before I make the commitment to buy some.

I have been using the Nosler for years now - 260 on deer and 300 on elk... They do work as well as Shockey indicates...
Just posted this on another site - maybe you might be interested....
