Nosler 51297 Match Grade 22Creedmoor 85Gr Rdf Hollow Point Boat Tail 20 Per Box/10 Case

Nosler Match Grade 22 Creedmoor ammunition with 85-grain RDF hollow point boat tail bullets is built from the ground up for precision rifle competition and long-range accuracy. This is factory-loaded ammunition engineered to deliver the ballistic performance of Nosler's RDF (Reduced Drag Factor) bullet line—the kind of consistency and precision that competitive shooters and serious handloaders demand when every shot counts at distance. Each round pairs a meticulously designed RDF bullet with quality Nosler brass and precisely metered powder charges to minimize velocity spread and maximize predictability downrange.

The 85-grain RDF bullet itself is the cornerstone here. Nosler designed RDF projectiles with exceptionally small meplats and class-leading ballistic coefficients to flatten your trajectory and maintain energy over extreme distance. The hollow point boat tail design supports both the aerodynamic performance and the terminal consistency competitors need. Whether you're dialing targets at a competition or developing loads for a custom 22 Creedmoor build, this ammunition gives you the same exacting bullet and brass foundation that top shooters use.

Match Grade ammunition represents Nosler's commitment to loaded-round consistency. Rather than buying bullets and brass separately, you get factory-loaded rounds with powder charges that have been carefully selected and metered for this specific cartridge and bullet combination. That translates to tighter shot groups, more predictable point-of-impact, and fewer surprises on the line. For competitive shooters and precision hunters who reload or prefer the convenience of match-grade factory ammo, this is a no-compromise choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RDF and why does it matter for long-range shooting?

RDF stands for Reduced Drag Factor. Nosler engineered these bullets with a very small meplat and optimized aerodynamics to deliver a higher ballistic coefficient than conventional designs at the same weight. That means flatter flight, less wind drift, and more retained velocity and energy at extended distances—exactly what competitive shooters and long-range hunters need.

Is this ammunition suitable for competition?

Yes. Nosler Match Grade ammunition is specifically designed for precision rifle competition. The combination of carefully selected RDF bullets, quality Nosler brass, and precisely metered powder charges delivers the consistency and accuracy competitive shooters demand.

Can I reload these brass cases?

Nosler Match Grade ammunition is loaded in premium Nosler brass, which is suitable for reloading. Once you've fired these rounds, the brass can be processed and reloaded according to your reloading protocol for 22 Creedmoor.

What's included in a case purchase?

A case contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds each, for a total of 200 rounds of Match Grade 22 Creedmoor ammunition with 85-grain RDF bullets.
