The Nosler 25115 Ballistic Tip delivers exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for 25-caliber rifles, combining a polymer tip with a lead core for consistent terminal performance. This 115-grain spitzer point bullet maximizes ballistic coefficient while maintaining reliable expansion across various hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The Ballistic Tip's polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact while the tapered jacket controls the expansion rate for optimal energy transfer. Unlike standard soft point bullets, the aerodynamic tip reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange. The boat tail base design further enhances ballistic coefficient, delivering flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to flat-base alternatives.
Key Features
- 115-grain weight optimized for 25-caliber cartridges including .257 Roberts and .25-06 Remington
- Polymer tip initiates controlled expansion and improves ballistic coefficient
- Lead alloy core with tapered jacket for 50-60% weight retention
- Boat tail design reduces drag and improves long-range accuracy
- Spitzer point profile maximizes aerodynamic efficiency
- Consistent jacket thickness ensures uniform expansion characteristics
- 50 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps, making these bullets suitable for medium game hunting at various ranges. The controlled expansion creates adequate wound channels while retaining sufficient weight for deep penetration. Accuracy testing shows sub-MOA potential in quality rifles with proper load development.
