33 Nosler 20 Rounds Ammunition 250 Grain PARTITION

Introduced by Nosler in 2016, the 33 Nosler joins the 26, 28, and 30 Nosler as the most recent addition to Nosler's family of unbelted magnums based on the .404 Jeffery (or Remington Ultra Magnum) case, shortened to be housed in standard-length actions and necked to take a .338-inch bullet. Although smaller in diameter and shorter with much less powder capacity, efficiency of the 33 Nosler's case design rivals .338 Lapua Magnum performance, at least with lighter bullets. With 225-grain bullets the 33 Nosler generates over 3000 fps, making it both flat-shooting and powerful, easily exceeding .338 Winchester Magnum performance. Recoil is considerable and certainly not for everyone, but hunters who follow the Elmer Keith school of heavy, large-caliber bullets will find the 33 Nosler an exceptional elk cartridge, and of course it's adequate for our biggest bears and the full range of African plains game. — Craig Boddington
