    Nosler, what’s up???

    Thanks guys!! I saw the email but it was a couple hours after it was delivered and by the time I got into SPS the 160's were long gone. But, this is a good sign. Hope the blems are a sign of more production which might get us some more blems.

    Nosler, what’s up???

    I have been a Nosler reloader for quite a few years but the current situation has put a serious strain on my Nosler relationship. Yes, I get what has been happening through all this mess on component availability with demand far outstripping supply. But in the end, there are some bullets...

    Retumbo w/ no lot#

    Just checked some recent purchases - H4350, H4831SC and Varget made in '21 and '22 and all have lot numbers. I do have one where the lot number is very close to the edge of the label. I wonder if somehow the lot number is being stamped on the label on the bottle "out of phase" and the lot...

    Elk Guid Tip?

    Adding to the great feedback so far - I've done quite a few outfitted hunting and fishing trips and usually plan on 15% of the trip total for tips. Fortunately, I've never had a bad experience - maybe I've been lucky. You mentioned the right attitude by the hunter and I think this is a very...
