Default Nosler plant blown up.

If any of you shoot Nosler bullets or ammo you might want to get them while you can. Yesterday, June 2, the Nosler plant blew up.

Thankfully everyone was evacuated with out any major injuries.

They don't make thier own brass. They outsource it.

And I don't care for it, lapua prices and almost no consistancy, I checked 2 batches of nosler brass, a batch of 300 RUM averaged .008" neck thickness varience, the 270's I checked averaged .005", and once formed to 6.5 gibbs, lost the pockets with fireform loads that the rem,s and win's took in stride.

I called Nosler about the availability of a bullet and they said that the fire in the plant did affect their ability to make bullets.

Currently they are only running one line for the partitions.

I shoot Nosler Accubonds in my .300 WSM. If availability or prices start to go up, I'll switch to Swift Sirocco which is a very similar bullet and ballistics

You might also try Hornady Interbonds as an alternative. They are less expensive then both Nosler and Swift.
