Reviews & Ratings for Nosler .243 Winchester 90 Grain E-Tip Lead-Free Brass Cased Centerfire Rifle Ammunition — 7 reviews — Page 1

If your rifle likes them, then they really are top notch. 10 shot groups show standard deviations of 3.8, 4.1, and 4.6. It's hard to argue with numbers like that.

The sale on this ammo was unbelievable. I hope to see that price again for Cooper bullets. They have preformed great on wild hogs

Great buy on Nosler etip 243 ammo. Quick free shipping .

Great price on great ammo. My favorite deer load. Ammo arrived quick

I have juggled ammo for my Remington 700 ADL and this by far has been the most accurate and precise ammunition I have put through this firearm. Off of a vice a can stack and it has impressed me. Overall performance on wildlife hasn't been tested as of yet but I have full confidence in it's design and Nosler's reputation.

I'm not trashing the review claiming inaccuracy; however, as the reviewer stated, the bullet is for 1:9 twist. Hence saying the bullet is inaccurate in his 1:10 twist rifle is illogical. We have all overlooked a spec and bought the wrong product, such is life.

Now, I present my take on accuracy. Rifle: Benelli Lupo 1:8.25 twist. Bullet comparison is to Sierra 90 Gr TGK and Hornady 90 Gr ELD-X, both designed for 1:10 twist as opposed to the Nosler 90 Gr Expansion speced for 1:9 twist. At the 100 yard range, not shooting bench rest, I can MOA the Nosler repeatedly, whereas I cannot MOA the Sierra or Hornady repeatedly. I actually performed this to a blind test standard.

Now, I do wish I could explain the reason for my personal knowledge base, but the only element that is apparent is that the Nosler requires a 1:9 twist. However, I am shooting them all from the same 1:8.25 twist rifle, so twist, per se, is not the case...! The only thing I can assess is that the Nosler bullet is 1.18 inches in length compared to the standard 1.08 length of the other bullets, assuming this leads to a more parallel placement within the barrel and the improvement in accuracy.

I do expect that this would have corresponding terminal performance similar to Barnes, but I cannot comment on that as of now.

Comments are most welcome....

This ammo will not group for me under SIX inches. My browning x bolt has a 1-10 twist barrel and when I received the ammo I noted on the box “for barrels with 1-9 twist”. Really wish I had known this otherwise I would have picked something else.
