Nosler's contributions to the ammunition industry have been significant, with innovations that have improved accuracy, penetration, and performance for hunters and shooters worldwide.

History[edit | edit source]

The inception of Nosler, Inc. can be traced back to a hunting trip in 1946, when John Nosler experienced the failure of a bullet to perform adequately on a moose. This led him to develop the Nosler Partition bullet, a design that featured a dual-core separated by a partition to ensure both expansion and deep penetration. The success of this bullet laid the foundation for Nosler, Inc., which was officially established in 1948.

Over the years, Nosler has expanded its product line to include various types of bullets such as the Ballistic Tip, AccuBond, and E-Tip, each designed for specific shooting needs. The company has also ventured into the production of high-performance rifles and ammunition, catering to a broad spectrum of shooting disciplines.
