Nosler 31456 Ballistic Tip Hunting 458 Cal .458 300 gr Spitzer Point 50 Per Box
The Nosler 31456 Ballistic Tip in .458 caliber is a serious choice for reloaders building ammunition for large-frame rifles and big-game hunting. At 300 grains with a spitzer point profile, these bullets combine proven aerodynamics with the controlled expansion needed for clean, ethical harvests on deer-sized game and larger. Built on Nosler's reputation for consistency and performance, they deliver the kind of dependable ballistics that make reloading worthwhile.
The design centers on controlled energy transfer. A color-coded polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact, while the fully-tapered jacket directs that energy into a consistent mushroom. The heavily jacketed base provides structural integrity and helps retain bullet weight through the wound channel—critical for consistent performance across the velocity ranges you'll encounter when loading for .458 rifles. The boat-tail profile supports long-range accuracy, so whether you're shooting 100 yards or beyond, these bullets stay stable and on target.
Each box contains 50 bullets, enough to develop quality loads without breaking the bank. They're ready for your preferred powder, primer, and brass—bringing that final precision to ammunition you've assembled from the ground up. If you're serious about rifle reloading for hunting or range work with .458 rifles, these give you the component quality that separates hand-loaded ammo from factory rounds.
