Nosler 22 Cal 85gr RDF (500ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 85gr RDF (500ct) is a precision-engineered bullet component created for handloaders seeking consistent accuracy, aerodynamic efficiency, and high-volume capability in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This product is bullet-only—not factory-loaded ammunition. With 500 bullets per box, it’s an excellent choice for competition, target practice, and varmint control using calibers like 223 Remington, 22‑250 Rem, and 224 Valkyrie.

Each 22 Cal 85gr RDF bullet features Nosler’s Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) profile, complete with a refined ogive, minimal meplat, and efficient boat-tail base to minimize drag and maintain stability during flight. The bullet’s concentric copper-alloy jacket and swaged lead core ensure uniform mass distribution and concentricity—critical for tight groups and precise point-of-impact.

Machined to a diameter of 0.224″ and an overall length near 0.980″, this .22‑caliber bullet stabilizes effectively in barrels with twist rates of 1:9″ or faster. It carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.305 and a sectional density around 0.180—metrics that support flat trajectories, consistent velocity, and low wind drift at target distances.

Handloaders pairing the 22 Cal 85gr RDF bullet with powders such as Hodgdon Varget, IMR 8208 XBR, or Vihtavuori N540 report subtle velocity consistency and repeatable sub-MOA accuracy. The RDF profile allows magazine-length seating and supports reliable feeding in both bolt-action and semi-auto systems configured for precision shooting.

This bullet component requires proper brass, primers, and propellant—loaded using verified data and safe handloading methods. Nosler’s strict lot sorting, visual inspection, and concentricity checks ensure that each 22 Cal 85gr RDF bullet meets demands for match-grade performance and reliable consistency across high-volume range sessions.
