The Nosler 51050 Ballistic Tip bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for 25 caliber rifles. These 115-grain spitzer point projectiles feature Nosler's proven polycarbonate tip design that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining weight retention for deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
The polycarbonate tip prevents deformation in the magazine while creating a more aerodynamic profile than traditional soft point bullets. This design delivers flatter trajectories and higher retained velocities compared to standard hunting bullets. The tapered jacket construction controls expansion from 1.5x to 2x original diameter, ensuring reliable performance across velocity ranges from 1,800 to 3,200 fps.
Key Features
- 115-grain spitzer point configuration optimized for 25-06 Remington, 257 Roberts, and similar cartridges
- Polycarbonate tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps
- Tapered jacket design controls expansion while maintaining 60-70% weight retention
- Boat tail base reduces drag for improved long-range ballistics
- Lead alloy core provides consistent density and balance
- Spitzer profile delivers superior ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.389
- Packaged in protective foam inserts to prevent tip damage during shipping
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The 115-grain weight provides excellent performance on medium game from whitetail deer to antelope at ranges extending beyond 300 yards. These bullets maintain structural integrity through various barrel twist rates and perform reliably in both hunting and precision shooting applications.
