Nosler 22 Cal 80gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 80gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct) is a high-performance bullet component engineered for handloaders who demand consistent accuracy, aerodynamic stability, and optimal seating performance in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box includes 100 bullets ideal for cartridges such as 223 Remington, 22-250 Rem, and 224 Valkyrie, particularly in match and target applications.

Featuring a precision-engineered hollow-point boat-tail design, the 22 Cal 80gr HPBT bullet incorporates a refined secant ogive and small meplat to minimize drag and extend stability over distance. Nosler builds each bullet with a swaged lead core and concentric copper-alloy jacket to enhance weight uniformity, concentricity, and reliable performance shot after shot.

With a bullet diameter of 0.224″ and an overall length near 1.000″, the Nosler 22 Cal 80gr HPBT Custom Competition bullet is best stabilized in barrels with twist rates of 1:8″ or faster. It offers a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.290 and a sectional density near 0.174—key specifications for flat trajectories, wind resistance, and long-range accuracy under competitive conditions.

Reloaders have achieved excellent results with this 80gr match bullet using powders such as Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, and Vihtavuori N140. The design supports magazine-length seating, smooth chambering, and consistent group sizes in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles set up for precision shooting disciplines.

This is a bullet component only and should be paired with quality brass, primers, and powder using published load data and safe reloading practices. Nosler’s rigorous quality assurance program—including visual inspections, weight sorting, and jacket concentricity control—ensures that each 22 Cal 80gr HPBT bullet meets the expectations of serious long-range handloaders and competitors.
