Nosler125gr Ballistic Tip on tubular mag
Has anyone tried the Nosler125gr Ballistic Tip on a 336 tubular mag? What powder and load worked for you best? This is not for hunting but for silhouette. Considering these as an alternative to Hornady's flex tips.

Thanks everyone looks like the silverblixt is the one, should have asked for help months ago rather than having a google, not finding anything and giving up for a few weeks then trying again

That's an interesting bullet you have there Defender, two cannelures plus the core is staked.
I haven't the foggiest who makes it but purely speculating-
a) The two cannelures suggest to me that the bullet could be intended to be loaded to two different depths depending on the cartridge into which it is to be loaded. For example loaded deep in a .30-30 case but loaded out in a .30-06 case.
b) I normally associate that style of staking with eastern European countries. So again just wondering if it could be from Prvi Partizan or even Sellior & Bellot.
The colour of the synthetic tip looks familiar but I can't think who uses that particular colour.

I was told they were Prvi Partizan when i got them but couldnt find anything on there website that looked remotely similar with the double cannelure or the staking
The closest so far is the suggestion of Norma Silverblixt as the images of loaded 30-06 rounds look to have the same bullet
Its more that i would like to know before i load them if a definate id is made and they and still available then if they shoot accurately i can get some more, if they are no longer available then i'll just load them to use as practice or plinking rounds

The tip on the Naturalis looks too pointed and they dont have the staking below the canneluresIs it lead free?
Naturalis
Lapua has manufactured Naturalis® bullets since 2002 and now presents the 3rd generation of the lead-free hunting bullet. The Naturalis® hunting bullets and cartridges can be used in hunting areas…www.lapua.com
The plastic tip is the same colour as the ones that were fitted in some 30 cal 180grain Norma bullets. They shot good groups but they had a bad reputation for breaking up and not penetrating well.
These are a different shape so will behave differently.

They do look pretty much identical to the silverblixt just 10 gr lighter as these are definately only 170 gn
Definetly .308"?
The 7mm version of the plastic point weighs 170 grain.

Tried them against a 7mm rem mag case and way too big, tried them against a .300 win mag case and can get them started ok by hand
Weighed them on 2 different scales to check weight and definately 170gr as well

The number I have on the carton is # 17653 and the case is definitely brass. Calibre 30-06 180gn

Yep, I know. Brass cases.
I was talking about the bullets they're loaded with. At that time the same bullet was loaded in Norma .308 180gr #17636.
