The Nosler 30131 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for 7.62x39mm firearms. This precision-engineered hunting ammunition combines Nosler's proven ballistic tip technology with consistent powder charges for reliable shot placement at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency throughout flight. Unlike standard full metal jacket rounds, these ballistic tip projectiles expand to nearly twice their original diameter for maximum energy transfer. The boat tail design reduces drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat-base bullets of similar weight.
Key Features
- 123-grain spitzer boat tail bullet optimized for 7.62x39mm chambering
- Polycarbonate ballistic tip ensures consistent expansion and accuracy
- Tapered jacket design controls expansion from tip to base
- Boat tail configuration improves ballistic coefficient and downrange velocity
- Premium brass cases with consistent neck tension and concentricity
- Temperature-stable powder charges for reliable performance in varying conditions
- 50-round packaging provides convenient quantity for range sessions and hunting
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy from quality rifles with proper optics. The 123-grain weight provides optimal performance in standard 1:10 twist barrels commonly found in AK-pattern rifles and bolt-action hunting rifles. Muzzle velocities typically range from 2,350-2,400 fps depending on barrel length, delivering over 1,500 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle.
