If you're a reloader pursuing deer-sized game with your .308, Nosler Ballistic Tip hunting bullets deliver the combination of accuracy and reliable expansion that separates clean, ethical kills from frustration. These 125-grain .308 Ballistic Tip bullets are engineered to perform across the range of velocities you'll encounter in the field—whether you're shooting from a bench at 100 yards or stretching it out farther. The boat-tail profile helps tighten groups at distance, while the tapered jacket and heavy base work together to ensure consistent, controlled expansion when it counts.
The signature polymer tip (color-coded so you can quickly identify caliber) initiates expansion immediately upon impact, setting the stage for energy transfer through the vitals of your target. The fully-tapered jacket controls that expansion and helps retain bullet weight through the animal, maximizing the stopping power of each shot. This is not a premium-priced match bullet; it's a purpose-built hunting round that balances cost-effectiveness with the terminal performance you need to take game cleanly.
Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you plenty of handloads to develop a load, shoot it in, and hit the field with confidence. Whether you're working up a new load for a rifle you've just zeroed or restocking proven brass, Nosler Ballistic Tips are a familiar choice among reloaders who won't compromise on reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the .308 125-grain Ballistic Tip suitable for?
Nosler designed this bullet for deer-sized game. The 125-grain weight and expansion characteristics are optimized for medium-sized hunters across typical hunting ranges.
Will these bullets work at long range?
Yes. The boat-tail design and aerodynamic profile help maintain velocity and reduce wind deflection downrange, supporting accuracy at extended distances when fired at appropriate velocities from your rifle.
Are Ballistic Tips suitable for handloading beginners?
These are factory-engineered bullets that perform consistently across a range of handloads, making them a solid choice for both experienced reloaders and those developing their first loads in .308.
How much bullet weight is retained after impact?
The heavy base and fully-tapered jacket are designed to retain significant weight through the animal. Nosler engineers these bullets for optimum weight retention at all practical hunting velocities, though exact retention varies with velocity and target composition.
