The Nosler 40071 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for 25-06 Remington rifles. This premium hunting load combines Nosler's proven ballistic tip technology with match-grade components for consistent performance on medium game. Each 115-grain spitzer bullet features the distinctive polymer tip that initiates rapid, uniform expansion while maintaining deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
The ballistic tip design sets this ammunition apart from conventional soft-point bullets through its aerodynamic polymer tip and boat-tail base. This combination reduces drag coefficient and maintains higher velocities downrange compared to flat-base bullets. The tapered jacket thickness controls expansion from tip to base, creating larger wound channels than standard hunting bullets while retaining 60-70% of original weight for deep penetration.
Key Features
- 115-grain spitzer ballistic tip bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
- Boat-tail design reduces drag and improves long-range accuracy
- Tapered jacket construction controls expansion and weight retention
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness and neck tension
- Match-grade powder charges for uniform velocities shot-to-shot
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,000 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.453 for excellent downrange performance
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy from quality bolt-action rifles at 100 yards. The 115-grain weight provides optimal performance on deer-sized game at ranges from 100 to 400 yards, delivering sufficient energy for clean kills while minimizing meat damage. The ballistic tip initiates expansion reliably even at extended ranges where velocities drop below 2,000 fps. Temperature stability remains consistent across hunting conditions from sub-freezing to summer heat.
