Nosler Ballistic Tip 30 Cal 168gr Spitzer Point Bullets 50/Box

The Nosler Ballistic Tip 30 caliber 168-grain spitzer point bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for precision shooting applications. These bullets feature Nosler's proven polycarbonate tip design that initiates expansion while maintaining ballistic efficiency downrange.

What Makes This Different

The polycarbonate tip design sets these bullets apart from conventional hollow points by providing consistent expansion initiation while protecting the lead core from deformation during feeding. The boat-tail base reduces drag coefficient by approximately 12% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range and improving wind drift resistance. Internal construction uses a tapered jacket with controlled thickness variations to ensure reliable expansion at velocities between 1,600-3,200 fps.

Key Features

• 168-grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield cartridges
• Polycarbonate tip initiates expansion and improves ballistic coefficient to .490
• Boat-tail base design reduces drag and improves long-range trajectory
• Lead-alloy core bonded to tapered jacket for controlled weight retention
• Spitzer point profile maintains velocity and energy at extended distances
• Manufactured to +/- 0.003-inch dimensional tolerances for consistency
• 50-count box provides sufficient quantity for load development and hunting

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion starting at 1,800 fps impact velocity, making these bullets suitable for medium to large game hunting at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The 168-grain weight provides excellent sectional density of .253 for penetration while maintaining manageable recoil in standard hunting rifles. Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent BC and quality control that supports sub-MOA accuracy in precision rifles.
