Nosler has 470 500gr bullets on sale right now. 500-416 loaded ammo was massively discounted also.

Those bullets are on closeout. No more to be made. There are a couple lines of large bore loaded ammo discounted, 450 Rigby was one I noticedNosler has 470 500gr bullets on sale right now. 500-416 loaded ammo was massively discounted also.

Wonder why not making them anymore....Those bullets are on closeout. No more to be made. There are a couple lines of large bore loaded ammo discounted, 450 Rigby was one I noticed
Any idea which other calibers they won‘t make anymore .Those bullets are on closeout. No more to be made. There are a couple lines of large bore loaded ammo discounted, 450 Rigby was one I noticed
What I have found is when they put something in their "Closeout" section, it is leaving their production line. They retired the 9.3x62 solid ammo line in 2020, ran out of stock in early 2021. They still offer the 9.3x62 loaded with the Partition, just not solids. Makes me think they are slowing phasing out their solid line of loaded ammo, or pruning it back to only the most popular calibers. Same would go for the component bullets; the 9.3 solid bullet isn't listed anymore.Any idea which other calibers they won‘t make anymore .
A lot of vintage double rifle owners won't shoot these or the Barnes mono solids for fear of barrel damage.
Is this due to the long shank with no bands? And the potential for bulging? Or is it the alloy Nosler uses? I haven't shot very many of the 9.3s, and have been looking at simply pulling the solid and sticking a Partition in the case.Also, they require extensive cleaning afterwards.

When Nosler puts something on sale, they really discount. The 9.3x62 solid ammo was cheaper than I could buy the bullet and brass at the time. For those that use, or intend to get, a rifle in the current sale calibers, can't beat the price right now. I routinely keep an eye on their website, as I like Nosler components.
And that's enough to put me off...Also, they require extensive cleaning afterwards.
Mike, if you are looking for something different, you might want to try the Peregrine VRG2, their drive band design largely eliminates fouling mono metals usually cause, plus its copper, although they do offer a brass version as well. I love the plainsmaster bullets in eveything .375 and smaller that I have used them in. I want to get some of the new levergun bullets they developed for my Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 but shipping costs from S.A. to USA are currently prohibitive.So the nosler solids in big calibres are not lead core type?....just wondering as one shop here got couple boxes off 500 Jeffery solids in....was thinking of getting a box or 2 to see how they compare to norma ones velocity wise....
Dang if anyone has a 24 Nosler they better jump on this![]()
And those are in the Closeout section. My guess is the 24Nos hasn't sold well and they are dropping it. If someone has one, or plans on getting one, now's the time to stock up on the brass.Dang if anyone has a 24 Nosler they better jump on this![]()
