The Nosler RDF Match 22 Caliber 85-grain bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. These hollow point boat tail projectiles feature Nosler's Reduced Drag Factor design, engineered to minimize wind drift and maintain velocity downrange.
What Makes This Different
The RDF (Reduced Drag Factor) profile sets these bullets apart from conventional match projectiles through advanced aerodynamic engineering. While standard match bullets typically achieve G1 ballistic coefficients around 0.400-0.450, the RDF design pushes the BC to approximately 0.458, resulting in flatter trajectories and reduced wind sensitivity at extended ranges. The optimized boat tail angle and meticulously crafted hollow point create superior flight characteristics compared to traditional cup-and-core match bullets.
Key Features
- 85-grain weight optimized for 22 caliber precision rifles with 1:7 to 1:8 twist rates
- Hollow point boat tail design with optimized bearing surface for consistent chamber pressure
- High ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.458 G1 for extended range performance
- Uniform jacket thickness ensures consistent expansion and weight retention
- Match-grade construction with tight weight tolerances of ±0.3 grains
- Compatible with .224 diameter bore rifles including .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO chambers
- Packaged in protective foam inserts to prevent bullet damage during transport
These bullets excel in competitive long-range shooting disciplines where precision matters most. F-Class and Precision Rifle Series competitors rely on the consistent BC and minimal velocity variation shot-to-shot. The 85-grain weight provides excellent stability in moderate to strong crosswinds while maintaining sufficient velocity for 600-1000 yard engagements. Weather-resistant packaging protects the bullets from moisture and temperature fluctuations that can affect powder charges and accuracy.
