My first claim to fame \u2013 if you want to call it that \u2013 was working as the compiling author of the book, Rifle Bullets for the Hunter<\/u>. It was without question the definitive source for hunting bullet information and, I got to work with some very\u00a0respected gun writers: Boddington, Barsness, Campbell, Havilland, Spomer and, yes, even Bryce Towsley.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that book was rushed to press by the publisher without a final edit. Even though it was well received \u2013 with errors and all \u2013 it is now \u00a0out of print.<\/p>\n

The reason I mention this is because that book was the ultimate continuation of my obsession with bullets and it led to my first visit to Nosler<\/a>. While there, I learned even more about some of the best hunting bullets in the world.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve continued the in-depth investigation into terminal bullet performance throughout my gun writing career. I\u2019ve mixed ordnance gelatin until I\u2019m sick of it and I\u2019ve conducted so many autopsies of animals I feel more like a medical examiner than a hunter.<\/p>\n

For all those reasons I\u2019m proud to announce that Nosler<\/a> is now a sponsor of Empty Cases. Nosler is a company built on the premise that their bullets matter just as much as their customers. They are family owned and operated and it shows in their product and in the character of their company.<\/p>\n

This does not mean I won\u2019t write about other bullets from other manufacturers. But it does mean that Empty Cases is your new source for detailed information on everything Nosler<\/a>. You\u2019ll see new products mentioned here and you will also probably get tired of hearing about the things I kill with AccuBonds.<\/p>\n

\"Sable-1\"<\/a>
This sable was taken with a 165 grain Nosler AccuBond Trophy Grade .308 Winchester load. The same load I’ve used to take impala, warthog, waterbuck, whitetail, kudu, elk, and moose at ranges from 20 yards to out beyond 400.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
