Nosler 270 Cal 6.8mm 170gr Ballistic Tip Hunting (50ct)

Nosler 6.8mm 170gr Ballistic Tip Hunting (50ct)

The Nosler 6.8mm 170gr Ballistic Tip Hunting (50ct) is a precision bullet component designed for handloaders who seek flat trajectories, consistent expansion, and terminal performance from their 6.8 mm rifles. Featuring Nosler’s signature silver polymer tip on a Spitzer boat‑tail profile, this 170‑grain projectile delivers high ballistic efficiency, enhanced wind resistance, and reliable terminal behavior—all in a clean bullet component box of fifty, inspected and ready for precise handloading.

Engineered with a .277″ bullet diameter and optimized length (~1.420″), the 6.8mm 170gr Ballistic Tip maximizes sectional density and aerodynamic stability in barrels with 1:8″ to 1:9″ twist rates. Ideal for 6.8 SPC, 6.8 Creedmoor, and compatible wildcat cartridges, it provides increased downrange energy and retained mass for medium-to-large game hunting.

Key specifications include a high ballistic coefficient (G1) of approximately 0.485 and sectional density (SD) near 0.275. The polymer tip resists deformation during feeding and initiates consistent expansion upon impact. The copper-alloy jacket is bonded to a lead-alloy core, helping retain around 60–70% of its weight after impact—supporting ethical penetration on game such as deer, antelope, and hogs.

In field applications, the 6.8mm 170gr Ballistic Tip Hunting bullet delivers uniform expansion, deep penetration, and effective wound channels. Hunters report clean, one-shot kills across varied terrain and ranges. Its boat‑tail design and high BC allow flat trajectories and dependable accuracy for long-distance shots.

This is strictly a bullet component—not a factory-loaded cartridge. Handloaders should reference Nosler’s official load data and trusted reloading manuals. Recommended powders for optimal performance include IMR 4350, Hodgdon H‑4831SC, and Alliant Reloder 19. Proper case prep, neck tension, seating depth, and consistent overall length are essential to ensure safe pressures and tight groupings in 6.8 mm rifles.

Combining Nosler’s aerodynamic silver-tip design, bonded-core retention, and high retained weight, the 6.8mm 170gr Ballistic Tip Hunting bullet component is an exceptional choice for serious hunters seeking ethical terminal performance and long-range accuracy in .277/6.8 mm handloads.
