Nosler Ballistic Tip 30 Cal 180gr Spitzer Point Bullets (50ct)

The Nosler 51170 Ballistic Tip bullets deliver consistent long-range accuracy with their polymer tip design and boat-tail construction. These 30 caliber projectiles combine the expansion characteristics of hunting bullets with the precision demanded by competitive shooters.

What Makes This Different

The polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion while improving ballistic coefficient compared to traditional soft-point bullets. Nosler's proprietary jacket design ensures weight retention of 60-70% while creating devastating wound channels. The boat-tail base reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange, extending effective range beyond standard flat-base designs.

Key Features

• 180-grain weight optimized for 30-06, 300 Win Mag, and similar cartridges
• Polycarbonate tip increases ballistic coefficient to 0.507
• Boat-tail design reduces wind drift and maintains energy
• Lead alloy core with tapered jacket for controlled expansion
• Spitzer point profile for flat trajectory and long-range accuracy
• 50-count bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions
• Consistent 0.308-inch diameter with tight tolerances

Field testing shows these bullets maintain supersonic velocity past 800 yards in most 30-caliber magnums. The polymer tip prevents deformation in magazine tubes while feeding reliably through semi-automatic actions. Expansion begins immediately upon impact at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making them effective across various hunting scenarios from whitetail to elk-sized game.
