If you reload ammunition for long-range hunting or precision rifle competition, the Nosler RDF Match 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr HPBT bullets deliver the ballistic performance that serious shooters demand. RDF stands for Reduced Drag Factor—Nosler's engineering approach to minimizing air resistance and maximizing downrange velocity retention. These 500-count boxes of 0.264" hollow point boat tail bullets are built around a compound ogive design and extended boat tail that work together to achieve exceptional ballistic coefficients, translating to a flatter trajectory and measurably less wind drift than conventional match projectiles.
Reloaders appreciate RDF bullets for their consistency and speed at the bench. The compound ogive is insensitive to seating depth variance, which means you have a wider window for finding accurate loads without chasing tiny adjustments. The hollow point features an extremely small, uniform meplat (the flat tip), so you won't waste time pointing or tip-trimming before you load—they come ready to go. That attention to detail carries through to overall uniformity; Nosler's quality control on meplat consistency is among the tightest in the match bullet category.
Whether you're building precision loads for a long-range hunting rifle or preparing ammunition for a competition match, these 130-grain projectiles in 6.5 Creedmoor dimensions will reward careful handloading with sub-MOA groups and reliable performance at distance. The 500-count box is a practical size for serious reloaders who want to maintain consistent supply without excess inventory.
Key Features
- Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) design for high ballistic coefficient and flatter trajectory
- Compound ogive insensitive to seating depth variance for easier load development
- Extended boat tail reduces drag and wind deflection downrange
- Smallest, most consistent meplat in the match hollow point class—minimal tip work required
- 500-count box for consistent supply and economical bulk reloading

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ballistic coefficient of the RDF Match 130gr?
Nosler designed the RDF line for exceptionally high ballistic coefficients through the compound ogive and boat tail geometry. The specific BC value is not listed in the available product information; contact Nosler directly or consult their ballistics tables for the exact figure for this load.
Are RDF bullets suitable for both hunting and competition shooting?
Yes. The 130-grain 6.5 Creedmoor RDF Match bullet is engineered for precision applications where minimal wind drift and flat trajectory matter—that covers long-range hunting, precision rifle competitions, and target shooting at distance.
Do these bullets require tip pointing or meplat trimming?
No. The RDF line is known for the smallest and most consistent meplats of any hollow point match bullet, so the bullets are ready to load as-received. You won't need to point or trim the tips before reloading.
What's included in a 500-count box?
Each box contains 500 loose Nosler RDF Match bullets ready for hand loading. No brass, powder, primers, or other reloading components are included.
