Default Another nosler sucess

Adult doe this AM with the 260 Nosler at 45 yds.Shot through the heart and dropped where she stood.Heart was nearly in 2 pieces.Something that has me wondering.Nosler no longer sells this bullet.Winchester loads their SSP-20 shotgun sabot slug with a 260gr partition bullet.Do you suppose.....???

It is really hard to beat a Nosler.... period - I used that 260 for years with the same success that you mention....

Congrats on the deer Chasam. I too was quite disapointed to hear when Nosler discontinued that bullet

Check Widners Sports...

if they got them - this as cheap as you will ever get them... if they do not have the 260 - 300's work very well also....

The day i found out that John Nosler had died, had me doing some reflecting on what using his bullet has meant to me. After feeling sad for a time, i decided the thing to do was celebrate his life, by shooting his bullet. I was worried i wouldn't be able to shoot straight, so i asked him for help. The Nosler Partition flew straight and true.
