Nosler 22 Cal 80gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 80gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct) is a match-grade bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking aerodynamic efficiency, precision accuracy, and reliable feeding in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—it is not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box includes 250 bullets, optimized for cartridges like 223 Remington, 22‑250 Rem, and 224 Valkyrie in competitive shooting, varmint control, and target development.

Featuring a hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) profile, the 22 Cal 80gr Custom Competition bullet offers a refined ogive and reduced meplat to minimize drag and enhance flight stability. Its concentric copper-alloy jacket and swaged lead core ensure tight weight distribution and minimal runout—essential for consistent accuracy and match performance.

Machined to a diameter of 0.224″ with an overall length near 1.000″, the bullet stabilizes effectively in barrels twisted at 1:9″ to 1:12″. This 22 Cal 80gr HPBT delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.290 and a sectional density around 0.174—supporting flat trajectories, steady retained velocity, and reduced wind drift at extended ranges.

Reloaders pairing the bullet with powders like Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, or Vihtavuori N540 report consistent sub‑MOA groups and reliable magazine‑length seating. Its HPBT design promotes smooth feeding and consistent chambering in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles designed for precision engagements.

This product is a bullet component and must be assembled with appropriate brass, primers, and powder following verified load data and safe reloading practices. Nosler’s stringent lot sorting, visual inspection, and jacket concentricity standards ensure every 22 Cal 80gr HPBT Custom Competition bullet meets the quality and performance expectations of serious precision shooters.
