Any bullet other than Nosler

[FEENIX]

I sent an email to Nosler saying that since you left us hunters high and dry on Accubond bullets I have switched to other bullet manufactures.
If enough of us send that type of email maybe they will get the message.
I did get a reply with ad's about Nosler loaded ammo at different places and them saying "we found over 30 boxes of ammo ready to purchase" and I replied you are talking to a reloader and I custom make my own loads to fit my rife.No reply.
Tell Nosler how you feel!
Tell them your not paying 65.00 or higher for a box of ammo

It's a business strategy/decision they have to live with. I am OK with that, as there as other options. I used NP, NAB, and BT for a long time. I made the switch long ago, but I will never leave them or any other company such a comment for their business decision. But that's just me. Moving on ...

I am done looking for Nosler Accubonds I really like the nosler but I'm ready to move on to something that is some what available at some point Loading for 6.5 prc and 7 mag 140-160 gr mainly deer hunting 500 600 yd max

Hornady, Speer, Sierra... I run AB's in exactly 1 rifle, and when I'm done with what I have for my 7stw, it'll probably be time for another barrel... I'm not even sure it'll be a 7stw... The brass supply stinks on that one lately... Possibly something on the 300win case, or just a 300win.

For mid range shooting the grand slam is plenty good. I've picked up a few hundred 145's in 7mm lately. My kid's Tikka 7rem does well with them.

Never tried the 145 GS. Tried the 160 grain and they wouldn't cooperate. I have a box of 130 grain hot cor to try in my 7-08

Since 1986, my hunting hand loads have been Nosler.
They say change is hard. I say sometimes change is good and and even necessary.
If Nosler chooses this road, I will just have to try other bullets.
That's just me though. You guys make your own choices!

Perhaps, but it's a business decision/risk they made and they will have to face the consequences associated with it.

Nosler does have 6.5 and .284 ballistic tips in stock. There's other options out there for deer but I think the ballistic tips are one of the best and easy to find a accurate load.

my 14 year old was dumping .5-.6" groups at 100 with them (145 gs) over the winter from his Tikka 7rem... rl22 and 215 for the fire...

Hammer hunter 124gr is what I shoot out of my 6.5prc. Accurate and deadly with enough energy on target. 1200ft/lbs at 800 yards

Are you maybe talking about the InterLock and not the InterBond?

Nop.

HORNADY 7MM (.284) 154gr IB BULLET InterBond 100/BX - Graf & Sons

The Hornady® InterBond® bullet uses a proprietary bonding process that holds the core and jacket together. Unlike partitioned or dual-core bullets, where the front core can separate from the bullet mass, the InterBond® bullet holds together in a single destructive mass that delivers a deep, wide...

No need to go through all that hassle. Just take your business elsewhere. If they're neglecting reloaders it means they're doing business with someone else. You can't really find any nosler bullet other than rdf or custom competition. I don't think they're supid enough to keep making a product nobody wants.

The last time I contacted Hornady about the Interbond they said it was a popular bullet but hard to make as it had to go through the line multiple times but they were working on a replacement bullet.
I bet the CX bullet is the replacement.I haven't tried it yet but others that have tried it say it's an accurate bullet but they have not taken any animals with it yet.

Yep Hydra6 it's hard to feel sorrow for Nosler for the Nosler 26 debacle

I killed an oryx last November with the 7mm 150 CX and it worked like a charm. Just ordered 4 boxes of 160's for my new 7mm PRC build.

That sold me!
I shoot mostly 30 caliber and Grafs has 190 gr in stock. I may have to order a couple of boxes to try.

Edit to say:Just ordered 2 boxes of Hornady 190 gr CX bullets from Grafs.
They had some 30 cal 165 gr Interbond bullets at 73.00 per box.Did not look to see if 50 count or 100 count.No 180 gr

For the 6.5, you might try 147 gr ELD-Ms. I don't have a very big sample size - a whitetail doe and a bighorn ram for me (6.5 CM) and two elk for my daughter (6.5 PRC) - but all dropped in their tracks.

They absolutely work. So do the Barnes 145 match burners with huge B.C
