    Nosler big bore bullets

    Does anyone know is Nosler officially discontinuing the large bore solids? They have been out of stock of 416 and 458 forever and they 2023 product catalog shows loaded solid ammo but no bullets. I was also searching their site and they have 470 solids for sale on “close out”. All my reloads...

    Time for a 505

This was chosen for several reasons, #1 of which is my 416 Rigby keeps jamming on the second shot (but never the third).

    Best .338

    So I'm still in grad school and a ways out from getting to Africa, but I am starting to build up my arsenal for the eventual trip. Currently have a .270 win and a 30-30 model 94, but I would like something a bit bigger for eland and zebra. Anything 338, but particularly interested in the Lapua...
