The Nosler 34992 Ballistic Tip delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for .22 caliber rifles. These 60-grain spitzer bullets combine Nosler's proven ballistic tip technology with precision manufacturing to create a hunting bullet that maintains velocity while providing reliable expansion on game.
What Makes This Different
The polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion while the boat-tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectories compared to traditional flat-base bullets. Nosler's proprietary jacket design ensures weight retention of 85-90% while creating a mushroom diameter nearly twice the original bullet size. The lead-alloy core is tapered and uniform, eliminating air pockets that can cause inconsistent performance.
Key Features
- Polycarbonate ballistic tip for rapid, controlled expansion
- Boat-tail base design reduces drag and wind drift
- Tapered lead-alloy core eliminates air pockets for consistency
- Heavy jacket base prevents bullet separation during expansion
- Spitzer profile maintains velocity at extended ranges
- Match-grade manufacturing tolerances for accuracy
- 100-count bulk packaging for high-volume shooters
Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain supersonic velocity beyond 300 yards from most .22 centerfire cartridges. The ballistic coefficient of .277 provides superior long-range performance for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications. Weather conditions have minimal impact on terminal performance due to the aerodynamic tip design and consistent core construction.
