10 Things You Didn’t Know About Nosler

Founded in 1948, Nosler has never strayed from its mission to develop the very finest bullet components and ammunition by hunters, for hunters. Here are 10 fun facts from the company’s history you might not have known.

Top 10 Varmint and Predator Loads

Here’s a look at the top 10 varmint and predator loads available right now. Thanks to widespread availability and quality manufacturing, many of these loads are fairly inexpensive yet highly reliable.

Burris Eliminator

The main virtue of the Eliminator is almost instantly combining all the steps of laser rangefinding, computer punching and scope adjustment.

Weatherby Back Country S2

It used to be if you wanted a lightweight rifle you had to opt for open sights or a very compact scope. Weatherby said, “Not if you want to hunt with us.”

Hardware: Burris Veracity 4X-20X -50mm

The 4X-20X-50mm Burris Veracity is a big scope, but it offers a lot of features that will help long-range hits on varmints, predators and targets become a reality if the shooter does his or her part.

Hardware: New Mossberg Patriot

For 95 years Mossberg has supplied hardworking Americans with hardworking and affordable firearms, but only recently has the company become a serious player in the centerfire rifle market. This year at SHOT Show Mossberg will introduce what might be considered the pinnacle of its sporting rifle efforts, the Patriot.

Hardware: Nosler BT Ammunition

Currently Nosler offers BT loads for a handful of popular hunting cartridges from .243 Win. to .30-06. Expect the company to add more loads, and expect them all to be perfectly tuned to put deer-size game down with authority. They’ll work just fine on blesbok, too, even a long, long ways out there.

Hardware: Franchi Momentum Elite Varmint

In addition to its excellent fit, function and accuracy, the Momentum Elite Varmint sports a rugged, synthetic stock engineered specifically for varmint hunting and is outfitted with a removable cheek rest, checkered-polymer grip and versatile camo.

Behind the Bullet: .308 Winchester

It's time for a history lesson on one of the industry's most commonly used cartridges: .308 Winchester.

Head to Head: 22 Nosler vs. .224 Valkyrie

The 22 Nosler and .224 Valkyrie are both viable for long-range shooting and run at very similar velocities, so which gets the nod?
