Title: Nielsen Specialty Ammo
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on July 15, 2020, 04:49:44 PM
Love his product, and just got in my latest order.

My two .25 hunters love them bullets,
the Tacstorm is set up to shoot the 29.5gr
the Mini-Carbine is set up to shoot the 38.5gr

I have to agree too. Nick is doing everything right.
Really loving the latest 33.5 hp's .25 Cal's.

Great accuracy out of mrod and just did some expansion testing in plumbers putty at 10 yards and 850 fps.

Perfect mushroom and complete devastation.

Never tried expansion tests on the Nielsen ammo, but I'll try find some Phonebooks and if I'll do I'll test them out.

Great company, hope to drive up to Northern Arizona and see them once things settle down.

That’s his 50 grain .30 in a 5 gallon bucket of water@ 920. Nice expansion I’d say.

Two of my .25 cal rifles and one .22 cal are all loving Nick's slugs. Going to try some of his .35 cal slugs soon for the REX.

I'm aboard with you guys!!!
I use the .22 17g in my benjamin trail np and have them th shoot 3/4 inch at 50yards..

They fly at 657fps but i noticed greater impact at same distance compared with chp 14.3..

The quality is undeniable..

Yep, NSA rocks!  They are super accurate in my .177 with the unchoked polygon, and in my .22 with modified slug liner.  They always shoot the same from batch to batch, which we often don't get with pellets.  His slugs have opened up a new world in long range shooting for me.  I've been able to make shots I never thought possible, especially for a .177!  Any shot under 200 yards is a very high percentage shot.  They also cause some serious devastation and penetration on the critters :D

Looks like I'll have to get some more to try out then. They were the most accurate in my break barrel; not as accurate as I'd like in my PCPs.

Then again, the barrels of the PCP rifles I tried them in were choked.

I'll grab some more and try them out in the newer additions I have. It's always nice to have more ammo options...and his ammo is pretty good too, so win win!

The real thing I want to know is where Manny is finding phone books?  Been years since I’ve seen one!

I finally got around to ordering some of the 15.5gr .177 slugs a week or so ago. I've only shot a single magazine through my Marauder, but the accuracy was pretty darn good from the stock barrel at roughly 40 yards. I am hooked!

I got a shipment of them a few weeks ago. 
They look good!

I am doing a comparison of them, H&N Slugs, and JSB Diabolos (control sample). 
Have to work out if I have a barrel harmonics issue (I am pushing the 21grn slugs up into the 900fps range) or if it is the shooter (  :o  )

i have had the two .22 sample boxes for months now and still haven't tried them.  tracking says the 15.5gr .177s are to be delivered today.

They work well in my Leshiy.

I need to order some .25 for use in the Lelya; and once I get my .25 Leshiy barrel... Hehe... Yup.

I looked on NS site to see if they had 22 slugs in .218 and all I see are large quantity(300-400) lots for sale.
I could not find sample sizes either.
I did send them an email yesterday but no reply.

Wonder if the no longer have sample packs or smaller qualities available anymore.

So I've been messing around with some slugs lately and putting cross hatches in them.

These are the NSA 33.5 with cross hatching them and 500 ft per second. Before and after.

 I find when testing slugs/ pellets 100 is a better sample to test, esp/ with different guns at hand.

Wow, that opened up a lot.  How does it impact accuracy?
