The Nosler 30125 Ballistic Tip delivers exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for 30-caliber rifles. These 125-grain spitzer bullets combine the precision of match-grade construction with the explosive expansion hunters and precision shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The Ballistic Tip design features Nosler's proprietary polycarbonate tip that initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding, the polymer tip ensures consistent chambering and protects the lead core from damage. The boat-tail base reduces drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range significantly.
Key Features
- 125-grain spitzer profile optimized for medium game hunting and precision shooting
- Color-coded polycarbonate tip prevents deformation and enhances ballistic performance
- Boat-tail design reduces wind drift and maintains velocity at extended ranges
- Tapered jacket construction ensures 50-60% weight retention with controlled expansion
- Lead-alloy core engineered for consistent density and weight distribution
- Compatible with all 30-caliber rifles including .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum
- Manufactured to ±0.003" tolerances for match-grade consistency
Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while delivering reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps. The 125-grain weight provides excellent versatility for deer-sized game while offering flatter trajectory than heavier bullets. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic tip design and precision manufacturing standards.
