The Nosler 53066 RDF Match bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and consistency for precision shooting applications. These 22-caliber projectiles feature advanced engineering specifically designed for competitive match shooting and long-range accuracy demands. The Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) design minimizes wind drift and maintains velocity downrange better than conventional match bullets.
What Makes This Different
The RDF Match bullet incorporates Nosler's proprietary boat tail design with optimized bearing surface length to reduce drag coefficient significantly. Unlike standard match bullets that focus solely on accuracy, the RDF series balances precision with enhanced ballistic performance. Independent testing shows improved BC (Ballistic Coefficient) values compared to similar weight competitors, resulting in flatter trajectory and reduced wind sensitivity at extended ranges.
Key Features
- 70-grain hollow point boat tail construction for maximum accuracy
- Reduced Drag Factor design decreases wind drift by up to 15%
- Optimized bearing surface reduces barrel fouling and pressure
- Consistent jacket thickness maintains uniform expansion characteristics
- Match-grade quality control ensures weight variance under 0.3 grains
- Boat tail angle engineered for optimal ballistic coefficient
- Compatible with all standard 22-caliber rifle chambers (.223 Rem, .224 Valkyrie, etc.)
These bullets excel in competitive shooting environments where precision matters most. The 70-grain weight provides excellent stability in standard twist rates while delivering consistent sub-MOA groups at 100 yards when properly loaded. The hollow point design ensures reliable expansion for varmint hunting applications, while the boat tail configuration maintains accuracy at extended ranges up to 600 yards and beyond.
