John Nosler - Going Ballistic is the story of John Nosler - a hunter, innovator and self-taught ballistics engineer. Born in California, he came of age in the Great Depression and raced his home-built cars on the dirt tracks of Huntington Beach and Pomona. From California, he moved to Oregon and embarked on a legendary big game hunting career. He first hunted moose in Canada in the 1940s and recognized the need for a projectile that would stand up to the velocity generated by the new magnum rifle cartridges. When hunters want a bullet they can depend on, the name they trust, more than any other, is Nosler. From the Partition, introduced to the shooting public in the late 1940s, to the Zipedo, Solid Base and Ballistic Tip, to today's cutting-edge AccuBond, John Nosler built a reputation on accuracy and performance, one bullet at a time. You know his bullets, now read his story.

Niskanen, and “World’s Greatest Athlete” Ashton Eaton among them—gained national prominence and even global stature. Others were and are more ordinary people who have done and continue to do extraordinary things in an extraordinary place, a small but singular city of some 80,000 souls astride the Deschutes River at the eastern foot of the Cascade Range.
