I saw three (250 rd) boxes of 55 gr. NBT's @ Gander Mountain @ 19890 SW Freeway Sugar Land, TX 77479 (281) 239-6720 They were a bit pricey ($84 IIRC), but they had them on the shelf.

On the Gander Mountain web page, they show 60 gr. sold out, but list the 55 gr. @$49.99. Maybe those were mis-marked @ Sugarland?? https://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/cart/cart.cgi Regards, hm 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. | |||

Have you considered the 60gr Hornady V-Max? I've had great luck with them in my 220Swift. GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!! IF YOU'RE GONNA GET OLD,YOU BETTER BE TOUGH!! GETTIN' OLD AIN'T FOR SISSIES!! | |||

+1! They are incredibly accurate in my 22-250 and AR (.223). If you end up using a substitute....this would be MY first choice. US Army 1977-1998 | |||

Thanks for the suggestion, Jigger and Phil N. Failing in my 5 month search for the 60 Nosler Ballistic tips, I switched to the Hornady 60 Gr. V Max. It shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds using 24 grains VV 133 on my Sako Vixen with a Douglas XX barrel, 1 in 10 twist. I still have to try it on game though. Happy hunting to you all! | |||

The 60 grain V-Max will likely give you excellent performance for its intended purpose -- light varmints. Unlike the Hornady, the Nosler Ballistic Tip is made with a solid base of jacket material. This is fairly irrelevant on varmints, but on game like small deer and antelope the solid base holds a significant portion of the bullet together and provides somewhat deeper penetration than a bullet with a conventional jacket. If you are accustomed to doing well on game with the Nosler, then you might find the V-Max penetration lacking. | |||

Thanks for the heads up on the difference between the Nosler Ballistic tips and the Hornady V Max. As previously mentioned, I have not hunted with the V Max, but I'll make an after hunt report when the time comes. Cheers | |||
