Nosler discounts and Promo Code

I should do a better job of staying on top of the discounts that our partners offer. Nosler has always offered a discount with Promo Code RANDY. Now, through July 31, 2026, they are increasing that discount to 20% with code RANDY.

It was a hell of a deal combined with that sale they were running last week, doesn’t take much to get free shipping either

I didn't plan to order a bunch of bullets today but I just did. Thanks for sharing.

Order placed. Great deal. Thanks.

I just finished an hour long podcast with John Nosler, with him telling the story of how his grandfather (also John) was inspired to make a better bullet after some serious bullet failure on a moose hunt in 1946. By 1948 he had made his first bullet, the Partition, which started the company down its current path. Lots of bumps in that road, but a great American story, for sure.

On-game bullet performance by which all others are judged

Anyone else having issues using this code now for Nosler? I’ve used it in the past but it doesn’t seem to be working today.

I used it last week no problems. Might try it again. Or email them if it doesn't work.

Does he elaborate on what the bullet was, how it failed, and what he thought he could have done to prevent it? Im not trying to stirr things up here, but I am quite interested. Velocity and diameter vs weight make a huge difference on how any bullet hangs together regardless of design.

I agree with that, but shooting heavy for caliber bullets at speeds slower than they can handle, i do just fine with much lesser bullets that are 1/4 the price.

It was an old cup and core bullet that was the norm in the 1940s. Not made to hold together very well at high velocities. He believed it failed due to bullet construction with the light copper (likely copper-alloy) jacket.

He was using what at the time was called the .300 Magnum. That was an H&H, which came out with the first .300 Magnum. Now, we decipher between the .300 Win Mag, Weatherby Mag, and H&H. The bullet couldn't hold up to the velocities, so he went to work designing what became the Partition in 1948 and continues to be produced today.

That makes a lot of sense. That bullet probably did ok at 30 96 velocities but did not like being pushed at 300 h and h magnum velocities.
