Nosler Ballistic Tip Lead Free Varmint Rifle Bullets 6mm .243" 55 gr SPTFB-BTLF 100/ct
The Nosler Ballistic Tip Lead Free Varmint Rifle Bullets in 6mm (.243") are engineered for shooters in lead-free zones and at ranges with non-magnetic ammunition requirements. Built on Nosler's proven Ballistic Tip platform—a design trusted by varmint hunters for over 25 years—these 55-grain rounds deliver the rapid expansion and accuracy demanded by modern predator and varmint hunting without compromising performance or compliance.
At the core of these bullets is Nosler's Fragmenting Copper Core Technology, which initiates upon impact with the metallic-colored polymer tip to create immediate and complete fragmentation. The ultra-thin copper jacket design maintains structural integrity even at ultra-high velocities, while the flat base geometry supports bench-rest accuracy downrange. This combination makes the BTLF an excellent choice for precision shooting where you need dependable velocity stability and consistent bullet performance.
Each box contains 100 bullets, making these a practical option for handloaders building match-grade varmint and predator loads. The lead-free construction expands your shooting options whether you're hunting in environmentally sensitive areas, competing at ranges with strict ammunition rules, or simply prefer non-lead components for your reloading operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bullets suitable for lead-free shooting areas?
Yes. The Ballistic Tip Lead Free (BTLF) is specifically designed for use in lead-free zones and at shooting ranges that require non-magnetic ammunition.
What makes these bullets expand so quickly?
The metallic-colored polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact, triggering Nosler's Fragmenting Copper Core Technology for immediate and complete fragmentation at the target.
How many rounds are in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, providing a practical quantity for handloaders developing varmint and predator loads.
Will these work at high velocities without bullet failure?
Yes. The ultra-thin copper jacket and flat base design are engineered to maintain structural integrity in flight, even when fired at ultra-high velocities typical of varmint rifles.
