I go and buy the new Nosler 30/30 150 Gr BT...ok there is no data in there book, I call Nosler and get put on hold 18 minutes. Is there anyone here that has the data on this 30/30 150 GR BT bullet???

What powders do you have? I can get you in the ballpark with someone elses bullet.

Hey thanks but I guess I am going with BLC-2, I looked in all my books and it always pops up in the list for 150 Gr Jacketed bullets for 30-30.

Instead, why not contact Nosler directly, I bet they send you a data sheet right away.

Did that yesterday, called today, was put on hold for 18 minutes. When I called back I got a recording saying "Testing 1.2....Testing...1.2. I sent another e-mail today, no response.

Just got load data from Nosler. Data is from Manual # 7. I must have been sleeping, I do not have # 7 and none of my dealers have them. Must be a pretty new publication. Got to get one ASAP. Tks to all

Like I said ballpark, Hodgdon shows 33 to 37 grains with 150 gn Sierra at 2021 - 2358 fps.

IF we had to have bullet specific data for every thing we load there are a lot of bullets that would never get fired.

Well, what can I say, Im just a simple minded hick looking for a manual that has not been printed yet. The way I see it, if a bullet manufacturer makes bullets, new bullets they should have data listed on there web sight. Would you want an auto tec building your engine or transmission with no torque specs or better yet using just any kind of oil in your new engine just because it is oil. Like I said, Im just the moron on here and look up to the real men for guidance. Oh, and by the way, I know my spelling sucks!

Be interesting to see if it can match up to the
Hornady .308 140 gr MonoFlex™ (for 30-30 Win).
Rather doubt it will shoot as fast or as flat as the Hornady...... and it's not a monometal.

Pick a load using that bullet weight from 4 or 5 other manuals using 3031 or IMR4895 and forget that nasty BL-C2. The data will be safe there is even data at the Hodgdon site. Use of data from many books will give you a sense of confidence against typos that you can get with a single manual. Have a good day.

The folks @ nosler sent me an E-mail with a pdf with the load data from the new manual#7 that is to be out in December. IMR 4895 @ 28 Gr 2020 FPS, LD 84% is there most accurate load tested. I personaly would not shoot this bullet for my self but it looks like a good bullet and is suposed to preform like a true B-T. Time will tell, but like you I think the Hormady is a beter choice.

I can agree with that but for it to matter in reloading the successful person would need to have been reloading for YOUR rifle, otherwise his success won't make a lot of difference for you.

A reloading poet, who would have thought it?

use the 150 Hornady data

I gave them a try and was set back at how accurate these new Nosler bullets are. Also the tips do not deform in the tube like the Hornady does. After leaving them in the rifle overnight they still kept there true form, not like the way the Hornadys get all mashed down and deformed.
