The Nosler Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip 30 cal 180 grain hunting bullets deliver a proven combination of accuracy, expansion, and barrel longevity for serious reloaders. Built around Nosler's Ballistic Tip technology and enhanced with Winchester's Lubalox black oxide coating, these projectiles are engineered to perform consistently across the velocities and distances you're likely to encounter in the field. Whether you're handloading for a long-range hunt or a medium-distance shot, this classic design remains a dependable choice for hunters who want reliable performance and clean shooting.
The Lubalox coating does more than reduce fouling—it actually protects the bullet jacket and lowers pressure and friction in the bore, which means less copper buildup and longer barrel life between cleanings. That's a real benefit when you're running through rounds during load development or practice. The aerodynamic polymer Silvertip initiates rapid, uniform expansion on impact, while the fully-tapered jacket maximizes energy transfer and helps the bullet retain weight even at distance. A heavily jacketed base acts as a platform for large-diameter mushroom formation, and the boat-tail design polishes your ballistic coefficient for tighter groups at extended range.
This is a traditional hunting bullet in a caliber and weight that covers a lot of ground—30 cal, 180 grains suits everything from standard .308 Winchester through magnum variants, making it a natural fit for reloaders with multiple rifles. The box of 50 gives you enough volume to work up a solid load, test different powders and primers, and still have bullets left for real-world use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles will these 30 cal 180 grain bullets work in?
These bullets are suited to .30-caliber rifle cartridges, including the .308 Winchester and magnum variants. Consult your rifle's manual and load data for your specific cartridge to ensure proper seating depth and velocity.
What does the Lubalox coating do?
Lubalox is a thin black oxide coating that reduces friction and pressure between the bullet and barrel, lowers fouling buildup, and protects the bullet jacket. This means cleaner shooting, less frequent barrel cleaning, and extended barrel life over time.
Will these bullets expand reliably on game?
The Ballistic Tip polymer initiates rapid expansion, and the fully-tapered jacket is designed to transfer energy efficiently while retaining bullet weight across a wide range of velocities. Expansion performance depends on impact velocity and game size; always consult load data and ballistics tables for your specific setup.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you a solid quantity for load development and field use.
