Well thanks guy's for your help. I was off work today and searched the web hoping to find someone that would have these FP's or FN's in 120gr's. Found a sight called GOBLE's that have a lot of dicontinued bullets. One is in Canada and the other is in England. The one in England is the bigger of the two and they are very freindly and go out of their way to help. They could not find any but did tell me someone from the USA had bought the last 4 boxes they had a little over a year ago. DUH!! Nosler quit making their's in 2002 and Sierra only makes their's for Federal to load the 7-30 Waters Vital Shock. Will not sell to the public and I really turned on the charm but to no avil. Hornday does not make the 120gr. single shot pistol anymore and Sierra quit the 130gr.ssp also. All the info I read and the experience I had last year with 120gr. Sierra Sp the 7-30 does not quite have the FPS for these harder jackets to open on broadside shots as they are designed to hold together for higher velocities. When I called Nosler to ask if they had any FN's laying around with dust they advised me after a lengthly conversation that the 120Gr.Ballistic Tip hunting bullet is designed to open quickly and hold together at speeds from 1600 to 3000 muzzle vel. Also Speer has come out with a 130gr. FN that is called Special Purpose bullet just for the 7-30 Waters rifles. Mid South Realoders Supplies has just started to sell these bullets. I bought a box of each today and will be letting you all know how they shoot.
If anyone has .284 Nosler's 120gr. FP part# 28121 please e-mail me if you would like to sell them.
Thanks Benny:
