Good to read everyone got out safely. I better get some 160 gr Partitions before the price goes out the roof. They're already a bit pricey as it is.

Peace

Incredibly glad everybody got out okay! I hope they are back up and in production again soon.

And yes, I went ahead and ordered another batch of .224" match bullets that I was on the fence about. I've always been happy with the Custom Competition line; they shoot at least as well as SMKs and aren't made with the gold-alloyed jackets that justify the prices on the Sierras! (That IS why SMKs are so much more expensive, right? )

That's awful. Hopefully they'll figure out there folly and the other ammo makers will make sure they don't have the same potential hazard brewing. I hope Nosler can get everyone working soon.
