[Bill Rodolph]

Whats the word on the Nosler 155's? Can come up with quite a few and wondered if they were any good? Load any different than Sierra's? Thanks, bill

Bill, I’ve used them a bit... most accurate Palma bullet I found. But, it’s not quite as slippery in the wind compared to some of the new releases. I wound up using them at 600 (and on bunny days, 8/9/1k) as I picked up a few more X’s with ‘em

Aren’t they almost an exact match to the 2155’s?

They are, side by side, hard to tell them apart.

They shoot well. You are giving up some BC compared to the other options but Gary has been shooting them successfully for, dare I say, decades. There are Palma Team members that still shoot the 2155s so it certainly can be done.

But in my experience the Nosler were much more consistent in their weight, length, etc. compared to Sierra ‘s. If I were to guess it seems like all bullets in the box came off the same machine

Thanks to everyone for your input. They are very similar to the 2155's. The Nosler boat tail appears to be a tad longer, but overall length and base to ogive are virtually the same. Will give them a try this Saturday.
