The Nosler RDF Match .308 210gr HPBT bullets are engineered for reloaders who demand precision at distance. Built with a compound ogive and extended boat tail, these hollow point boat tail rounds deliver the high ballistic coefficients that flatten trajectory and minimize wind deflection—exactly what you need when you're handloading for serious match shooting or long-range hunting. Each box contains 100 rounds, giving you a full kit to develop consistent, accurate loads.
What sets these apart is the design discipline behind them. Nosler optimized the ogive shape to stay insensitive to seating depth variation, which means you get more forgiving loads without chasing seating depth adjustments. The boat tail is stretched for drag reduction, and the meplat (tip) is kept small and uniform across the lot—no pointing or trimming required. That attention to detail saves you time at the reloading bench and translates directly to tighter groups downrange.
These are match-grade bullets, meaning the consistency and precision are there whether you're loading for a precision rifle course, a sanctioned competition, or a long-range hunt where every shot counts. The .308 / 7.62mm diameter and 210-grain weight make them a natural fit for .308 Winchester and similar cartridges where you want a heavy, aerodynamic projectile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges can I load these bullets into?
The .308 diameter and 210-grain weight are suitable for cartridges like .308 Winchester, 7.62×51 NATO, and similar .308-based rounds. Always verify your specific cartridge's load data before handloading.
Do I need to point or trim the tips on these bullets?
No. Nosler RDF Match bullets feature a small, consistent meplat across the entire lot, so you can load them out of the box without tip pointing or trimming.
What's the advantage of the compound ogive design?
The compound ogive is optimized to remain insensitive to seating depth variation, which means you have more room for error when seating bullets and should see more consistent velocity and accuracy without having to dial in seating depth precisely.
Are these bullets suitable for match shooting?
Yes. These are match-grade bullets designed for precision applications, with tight manufacturing tolerances and high ballistic coefficients that support accurate long-range competition and precision rifle shooting.
