My Stepson found some Nosler Trophy Grade ammo for .308 the other day.  The Accu-bonds were $69 bucks for a box of 20!

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

Looking myself.  My 7mm-08 really likes the Nosler Accubond 140 gr.  I currently have a box, and am not looking to fill my gun locker.  I would be tickled with 2 more boxes.  I could make that work for quite awhile.

I got 200 from brownells about 2 weeks ago and 200 from impact guns last week. They are hitting little by little but getting grabbed instantly.

I hear you.  Nosler Partitions and Accubonds are like hen's teeth.  Meanwhile, Hornady, is maintaining steady stock levels, just as Sierra appears to be, but less so on their hunting lines. 

I don't want the thread to go political, but I do wonder if being in OR versus being in NE is making a difference as to how those companies can operate at capacity. 

It appears that at least Nosler is operating round the clock, and yet, still no Partitions or Accubonds in common calibers in the last 6 months or so.

:dunno:

To be fair, I was able to pick up some in a retail store within the past 6 months to the tune of about 150 bullets (100 for a new rifle, 50 for a friend).  I think that there is probably some truth to the notion that they are coming out, but they get snatched up as soon as they hit the shelves.

Midway had some of the 150gr AB 270s last month too.  Just keep watching.  They are being built.  Folks are just buying everything up as soon as it shows in inventory.

Partitions are what I see the most of on the shelves.  I was at Coastal farm store and they had a selection of partition in various calibers.  It's like the bullet version of 28 gauge.  Seems like everything else vaporizes the instant it hits the shelf.  The only brass I've seen in the last few months is either .22-250, .243 or some 6.5 variant.

Unless you shooting past 500-600 yards, the partition is great bullet.  No way I would pass up a partition if I was short on bullets.

Yeah, not everyone wants to pay a premium for older bullet tech with lower BC but that works, but I don't mind, and I don't really need ultra-high BC, anyway, for hunting.

What caliber and grain Accubond are you looking for?

I drive past the Nosler factory shop on a fairly regular basis as it's on my way for multiple errands I run every week, and can pop in to see if they have any factory seconds/blemished behind the counter.   

Nosler is cranking at full production capacity, but have huge backorders to fill.  Just keep an eye on the various websites.  I picked up a few hundred 168gr ABLRs just two weeks ago, and if I needed them there are 35 cal Accubonds in stock everywhere. And various 270 ABs have been in stock on various websites.  I'm assuming the backorders on 6.5mm and 30cal are pretty large so I think it'll be awhile still before we see regular inventory on those..  Accubonds are much like powder right now: as soon as it shows up in inventory on a website guys buy it all up in a matter of minutes.
