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.

terrible....

i have "heard" it was the ammo plant...not their bullet plant...but not sure and havent had time to read up on it...


hopefully it doesnt mess things up.....their bullets is all i shoot..and will be loading their brass in all my rifles i believe...heard very good things about their brass...

im not going to stockpile...i got my whelen loaded for many years to come if needed...if they dont have production back up before winter when i start loading i will figure somethin out.....

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

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.
