Nosler 30 Cal 165gr AccuBond (50ct)

The Nosler 30 Cal 165gr AccuBond (50ct) is a premium bonded-core bullet component engineered for hand loaders seeking a precise, controlled terminal performance from their .30‑caliber rifles. Featuring Nosler’s patented AccuBond technology—highlighted by a white polymer tip, tapered copper-alloy jacket, and a core securely bonded to the jacket—this 165‑grain projectile delivers predictable expansion, deep penetration, and approximately 60–70% weight retention. Each box contains fifty inspected, polished bullets ready for precise seating.

Designed with a .308″ diameter and a Spitzer boat-tail profile, the 30 Cal 165gr AccuBond offers excellent ballistic efficiency and flat trajectories. It’s compatible with cartridges like .308 Winchester, .30‑06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum, where the polymer tip enhances aerodynamic stability while initiating uniform expansion on impact. The AccuBond design improves core retention and reduces the risk of jacket-core separation.

Key technical specifications include a ballistic coefficient (G1) of approximately 0.415 and a sectional density (SD) near 0.243. The bullet measures around 1.300″ in overall length, making it suitable for rifles with 1:10″ twist rates or faster. The bonded-core construction supports consistent internal pressures and feed reliability across both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.

In field applications, the 30 Cal 165gr AccuBond demonstrates powerful yet controlled expansion, maintaining straight-line penetration and clean wound channels. Hunters report dependable performance on deer, elk-class game, and larger animals at both moderate and extended ranges. The bullet’s retained mass ensures energy transfer to vital zones even through heavy tissue and bone.

This is strictly a bullet component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Hand loaders should reference Nosler’s official reloading data and reputable manuals, pairing this bullet with powders such as IMR 4064, Hodgdon Varget, or Reloder 15. Proper case preparation, neck tension, seating depth, and consistent overall length are essential to achieving both accuracy and safe pressure levels in .30‑caliber hand loads.

Combining Nosler’s bonded-core reliability, aerodynamic boat-tail design, and precise manufacturing, the 30 Cal 165gr AccuBond bullet component is a premium choice for hunters and precision shooters seeking deep penetration, retained energy, and consistent accuracy in their .30‑caliber handloads.
