Nosler 22 Cal 69gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 69gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct) is a match-grade bullet component crafted for handloaders seeking precision, aerodynamic efficiency, and consistent accuracy in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 250 bullets, making it ideal for load development and competition in cartridges like 223 Rem, 22‑250 Rem, and 224 Valkyrie.

Featuring a hollow-point boat-tail profile, the 22 Cal 69gr HPBT bullet combines a refined ogive and small meplat to minimize drag and stabilize flight. A concentric copper-alloy jacket encases a swaged lead core for tight weight uniformity and minimal runout—essential for achieving consistent shot-to-shot performance.

Machined to a diameter of 0.224″ and an overall length near 0.950″, the bullet stabilizes effectively in barrels with twist rates of 1:9″ or faster. It delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient around 0.270 and a sectional density near 0.159—supporting flat trajectories, retained velocity, and wind resistance at extended shooting distances.

Handloaders pairing the 22 Cal 69gr HPBT bullet with powders such as Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, or Vihtavuori N540 consistently report sub‑MOA grouping and smooth magazine-length feeding. The HPBT configuration ensures reliable chambering in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles set up for precision shooting.

This bullet component is intended for experienced reloaders using quality brass, primers, and powders with verified data. Nosler’s rigorous lot sorting, visual inspection, and jacket concentricity controls ensure every 22 Cal 69gr HPBT bullet meets the match-grade standards required for competitive accuracy and dependable performance.
