Nosler 22 Cal 70gr RDF (500ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 70gr RDF (500ct) is a precision bullet component engineered for long-range efficiency, high-volume shooting, and aerodynamic performance in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 500 bullets, ideal for target practice, varmint hunting, and match-grade load development in cartridges like 223 Remington, 22‑250 Remington, and 224 Valkyrie.

Featuring Nosler’s Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) profile, the 22 Cal 70gr bullet incorporates a refined secant ogive, small meplat, and a streamlined boat-tail base to minimize drag and maximize downrange stability. The concentric copper-alloy jacket over a swaged lead core ensures uniform weight distribution and tight concentricity—critical factors for achieving consistent sub-MOA accuracy over extended sessions.

Machined to a precise diameter of 0.224″ and an overall length of approximately 0.970″, this .22-caliber projectile stabilizes best in barrels with twist rates of 1:9″ or faster. The 22 Cal 70gr RDF bullet carries a G1 ballistic coefficient around 0.290 and a sectional density near 0.177—metrics that support flat trajectories, reliable velocity retention, and effective wind drift control during precision shooting.

Reloaders report excellent results pairing the 22 Cal 70gr RDF bullet with powders such as Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, or Vihtavuori N540. Its aerodynamic profile allows for smooth magazine-length seating and clean feeding in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. Shooters consistently report repeatable shot groups and stable flight paths across varying conditions.

This bullet component must be assembled with quality brass, primers, and powder using verified loading data and safe reloading methods. Nosler performs strict lot-specific weight sorting, visual inspections, and jacket concentricity checks to ensure that each 22 Cal 70gr RDF bullet meets match-grade standards for consistency, accuracy, and reliable high-volume performance.
