Nosler 22 Cal 77gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 77gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct) is a precision bullet component tailored for handloaders who require aerodynamic efficiency, repeatable accuracy, and dependable feeding in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is not factory-loaded ammunition; it is a bullet-only product. Each box contains 100 bullets suitable for cartridges such as 223 Rem, 22-250, and 224 Valkyrie used in competitive shooting and advanced target work.

This bullet features a hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) design with a streamlined ogive and fine meplat that reduces drag and supports long-range stability. A swaged lead core and concentric copper-alloy jacket contribute to consistent mass distribution and minimal runout, enhancing shot-to-shot uniformity in demanding conditions.

Manufactured to a 0.224″ bullet diameter with an approximate length of 0.990″, the Nosler 22 Cal 77gr HPBT is best stabilized in barrels with twist rates of 1:9″ or faster. The bullet’s G1 ballistic coefficient is approximately 0.275, and its sectional density is 0.219—figures that provide predictable wind performance, flat trajectories, and retained velocity at extended ranges.

When loaded with powders such as Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, or Vihtavuori N135, the 22 Cal 77gr HPBT delivers consistent muzzle velocities and tight groupings. The bullet’s shape supports reliable seating to magazine length and smooth chambering in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles built for precision engagements.

This bullet component must be paired with appropriate brass, primers, and powder, using published load data and responsible reloading practices. Nosler’s lot-specific weight sorting, jacket concentricity controls, and visual inspections ensure that each 22 Cal 77gr HPBT Custom Competition bullet meets the rigorous standards demanded by high-volume reloaders and long-range shooters.
