Available Bullets

The Whitetail Country line features two standout bullets: the Solid Base and the Straight-Wall. The Solid Base bullet, known best for its precision and terminal performance, incorporates a fifth-generation tapered jacket and a heavy solid base to deliver deep penetration and optimal expansion. Its boat-tail design and aerodynamic profile promise superior accuracy and wind resistance, making it a perfomance-driven choice for deer hunters.

Nosler’s Straight-Wall bullet is tailored for the slower impact velocities typical of straight-wall cartridges. It boasts a flat base, a thin jacket at the tip, and a lead nose to ensure reliable expansion, even at extended ranges. The truncated nose design allows for smooth feeding across various action types, while the form-fitted lead core enhances stability and accuracy. This cutting-edge design mirrors the stopping power of standard bottleneck rifle cartridges while being fully compliant with straight-wall cartridge regulations. Whitetail Country ammunition sets a new standard in deer hunting, providing unparalleled terminal performance and reliable expansion to kill deer quick. This new line represents both a nod to tradition and a leap forward in precision and power, ensuring every shot counts.

Recipe: Deep-Rooted Venison Stew

Several friends and I often circle back to the same campfire debate about which wild game makes the best stew. Mule deer usually leads the pack, with moose close behind, but any well-handled game meat can stand out when you build the right layers of flavor. The real magic starts long before the broth simmers. It comes from the vegetables and mushrooms you choose.
