Nosler, Inc., founded in 1948 by John Nosler, is a renowned American manufacturer specializing in high-performance bullets, brass, ammunition, and precision rifles. The company's origin stems from a personal hunting experience in British Columbia, where John Nosler encountered bullet failure while pursuing moose. This inspired the development of the revolutionary Partition bullet, designed with a dual-core, partitioned jacket to ensure both rapid expansion and deep penetration—qualities that have since become hallmarks of premium hunting bullet performance.
Over the decades, Nosler has consistently expanded its product line while maintaining a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and ballistic excellence. Today, Nosler bullets are trusted worldwide by hunters, competitive shooters, and reloaders for their consistency, accuracy, and terminal effectiveness.
The bullet portfolio includes several key product lines:
Partition – A legacy design combining controlled expansion and deep penetration; ideal for big game.
Ballistic Tip – Designed for accuracy and rapid expansion, perfect for varmint and medium game hunting.
AccuBond – A bonded-core bullet offering high ballistic coefficients, reliable expansion, and weight retention.
E-Tip – A lead-free, all-copper bullet, compliant with environmental regulations and built for performance.
Varmageddon – Created for varmint hunters seeking explosive terminal effects and extreme precision.
