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

Chasam60,way to go on you deer.

SabotLoader,that is one bad ( l ) bullet.
I'm gonna look around and see if any of the local gun shops have some in stock.
If i cant find none what another good nosler bullet to use in the .451/.452

Probably the best bullet ever mass produced. i have always use them in centerfire rifles.

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....

congratulations on your deer

Nosler 260 dropped my buck this year with zero tracking. dropped right in his tracks. I hope I can go after a doe during the last week of Va deer season.Congratulations on your deer

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.
