Hey guys, I indulge your patience while I vent and pose some questions. I know there have been all kinds of component shortages recently. Like most everyone else, I've tried to be patient and avoided impulse buying/hoarding while the situation corrects itself. Nevertheless, I'm really confused about the lack of availability of the above mentioned bullet. For 4 months I've been trying to buy 2 boxes, but have been unable to find ANY. I keep the Midsouth Shooters Supply, Natchez Shooters Supply and Shooter's Pro Shop websites for this bullet minimized on my computer nearly all the time. Despite checking for availability many times a week (have also been placed on email notification lists, as well), I've YET to find any. I also periodically check Midway, Widener's, Lock, Stock and Barrel and Graf's. My brother in law oversees the Reloading section of a Bass Pro Shop. When I visited him and the store he works at 4 weeks ago I asked him the same question. He said, "We've got them." He was surprised when I told him there wasn't even a label on the shelves for this bullet. Said he'd let me know when they got some. Is everyone else having the same problem finding this bullet or, as the old country song goes, am I just "Looking for love in all the wrong places?" If the bullet's not available, why? I've eventually found available the other AB's I've looked for. Maybe I'd be in better shape if I had a local handloading supplier to turn to. Gary T.

Cabellas has them on backorder for a 1 week wait. I got some 165 grain with only 3 or 4 days to delivery.

I've had some on backorder at Midway for a week. Strange how I've been able to eventually find other bullet weights, incl 30 cal, but not the 150.... May need to give Cabela's a try! Thanks, Gary T.

150 accu-bad

Midway says they should be available on 8-31, so not too long to wait.

Keep an eye on the auctions at Bivwak, they sell Nosler seconds there all the time. Saw some 150 gr Accubonds not long agao.

Email Nosler see if they have anything, they never talk about there 2nds but I think on there sight it says just ask.
I just bought 2 boxes of hornadys wicked cheap at midsouth.

To check on seconds, go to www.nosler.com and click on the link to the Nosler Pro Shop.

Hamourkiller is correct. Nosler has been using Bivwak to sell their seconds much more than they have their own web site. The variety is also better.

Bivwak

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I failed to mention that I checked the BivWak site some early on, but not lately. Sounds like I need to check it more regularly. The Shooter's Pro Shop site I've been watching regularly is the other name for Nosler's Pro Shop that has Nosler's "seconds"
