Nosler 22 Cal 77gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 77gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct) is a match-grade bullet component designed for handloaders who demand exceptional accuracy, aerodynamic stability, and repeatable performance in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box includes 250 bullets, ideal for precision shooting in cartridges such as 223 Rem, 22-250 Remington, and 224 Valkyrie.

Built around a hollow-point boat-tail profile, the 22 Cal 77gr HPBT bullet features a fine ogive and small meplat to reduce drag and enhance downrange stability. A concentric copper-alloy jacket and swaged lead core ensure tight weight uniformity and minimal runout—key factors for maintaining sub-MOA accuracy in both target and competition applications.

With a bullet diameter of 0.224″ and overall length near 0.990″, this projectile stabilizes effectively in barrels with twist rates of 1:9″ or faster. It carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.275 and a sectional density of about 0.219, providing flat trajectories, consistent velocity retention, and low wind drift at extended distances.

Handloaders using the Nosler 22 Cal 77gr HPBT Custom Competition with powders like Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, or Vihtavuori N540 report excellent velocity consistency and repeatable groupings. The bullet’s profile supports reliable feeding and seating to magazine length in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms optimized for precision.

This product is a bullet component and must be assembled with quality brass, primers, and powder using verified load data. Nosler’s stringent quality controls—including lot-specific weight sorting and jacket inspection—ensure every 22 Cal 77gr HPBT bullet meets the demands of long-range accuracy and high-volume reloading alike.
