[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1936066, member: 104589"] They don't offer them anymore on the Nosler website. If they show up available somewhere again I'll be temped to buy a bunch more. I think Nosler's goal last year was to get ride of the last of their inventory of this particular round. Fortunately I bought 1200 rounds. I'm actually more frustrated that with all my effort in creating quality hand loads over the years and I get shown up by factory ammo that costed me less than $0.25 a round. I can't even load 40 gr Nosler Ballistic tips or other varmint rounds for less than $0.30 per round. That is considering I find good prices on the bullets and powder and I consider my time and the brass $0.00. Hopefully I can learn something from this to create better ammo in the future. Magnuim Maniac, Aushunter1 and JE Custom, I've heard that Weatherby ammo and others are loaded with powder that isn't available on the shelf. I was just being hopeful that Nosler was using a powder that is widely available. I'll do some tests with the Nosler Ballistic tips and powder I have on hand to see if I can duplicate the results. I've been experimenting with many different loads in my bolt action 223 for about 5 years and haven't come up with ammo as good as this cheap factory ammo. I've tested over a dozen different types of factory ammo in my bolt 223. Before buying these cheap Nosler rounds I hadn't found any factory ammo that shot better than 1 MOA in my gun.
