The Nosler 52111 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for 204 Ruger rifles. This premium hunting ammunition combines Nosler's proven ballistic tip technology with precision manufacturing to create devastating effectiveness on varmints and predators. Each 40-grain spitzer bullet features the company's signature color-coded polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact.
What Makes This Different
Nosler's Ballistic Tip bullets incorporate a boat-tail design with a polycarbonate tip that reduces drag and increases ballistic coefficient compared to standard hollow point ammunition. The lead-alloy core is bonded to a tapered jacket wall, ensuring controlled expansion at velocities ranging from 1,600 to 3,000+ fps. This construction maintains 60-70% weight retention while creating devastating wound channels that drop game quickly and humanely.
Key Features
- 40-grain spitzer bullet with polycarbonate ballistic tip for rapid expansion
- Boat-tail design improves long-range accuracy and reduces wind drift
- Tapered jacket wall ensures consistent expansion across velocity ranges
- Lead-alloy core optimized for varmint and predator hunting applications
- Premium brass cases with precise neck tension for consistent velocities
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for reliable performance
- 100 rounds per box for extended shooting sessions
Field performance demonstrates exceptional accuracy potential, with many rifles achieving sub-MOA groups at 100 yards when properly zeroed. The 204 Ruger's high velocity combined with the Ballistic Tip's aerodynamic design maintains flat trajectory and devastating terminal effects out to 300+ yards. Weather-resistant primer sealing and quality control standards ensure reliable ignition in temperature extremes from -20°F to 125°F.
