The Nosler 40073 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for 280 Remington rifles. This precision-loaded cartridge features a 140-grain spitzer ballistic tip bullet engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
Nosler's Ballistic Tip bullets combine the accuracy of a match bullet with the terminal performance of a hunting bullet. The polycarbonate tip initiates rapid expansion while the tapered jacket controls expansion for optimal weight retention. Premium brass cases and carefully selected powders ensure consistent velocities and tight shot groups compared to standard hunting ammunition.
Key Features
- 140-grain spitzer ballistic tip bullet with polycarbonate tip for rapid expansion
- Tapered jacket design controls expansion and maximizes weight retention
- Premium brass cases with precise powder charges for consistent performance

Field testing shows this ammunition typically achieves sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with muzzle velocities around 2,940 fps from 24-inch barrels. The 140-grain bullet weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration on deer, elk, and similar-sized game while maintaining flat trajectory out to 300 yards. The ballistic tip design ensures reliable expansion even at extended ranges where velocity drops.
