Nosler Ballistic Tip hunting bullets in spitzer boat tail configuration are a workhorse choice for reloaders building centerfire rifle rounds. These .308" (30 caliber) projectiles combine proven expansion characteristics with long-range aerodynamics, making them suitable for hunters who want reliable performance across a range of velocities and distances. Sold in boxes of 50, they're designed to deliver consistent accuracy and terminal performance in the field.
The design hinges on a color-coded polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion on impact, paired with an ultra-thin jacket mouth. That thin mouth is engineered to expand reliably even at lower velocities, while a gradually thickening jacket wall controls the rate of expansion and helps retain bullet weight through the animal. The boat tail profile reduces drag and improves ballistic efficiency, which matters when you're stretching shots at distance or working through wind.
Reloaders appreciate Nosler's attention to consistency—match-grade accuracy is the baseline here, not a bonus. The Solid Base design provides a stable platform for proper mushrooming and supports the boat tail geometry. Whether you're loading for a modern hunting rifle or a classic cartridge, these bullets work across a wide velocity window, so you're not locked into a narrow powder charge window or velocity range to get reliable expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifle cartridges can I load these bullets in?
These are .308" (30 caliber) bullets, so they're compatible with cartridges that use that diameter—such as .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, and similar 30-caliber centerfire rounds. Always verify bullet diameter and seating depth recommendations in a trusted reloading manual for your specific cartridge.
Will these bullets expand reliably at all velocities?
The Ballistic Tip design is engineered to expand across a wide velocity range, from lower velocities to ultra-high loads. The ultra-thin jacket mouth and gradually thickening jacket wall support expansion at either end of the velocity scale, though you should always consult reloading data for your cartridge to ensure you're within safe and effective parameters.
Are these bullets suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The spitzer shape and boat tail profile are designed to reduce drag and improve ballistic efficiency, supporting flatter trajectories and better downrange performance. They're a solid choice for hunters who regularly shoot at distance.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 50 bullets.
