Nosler 30 Cal 168gr AccuBond Long Range (100ct)

The Nosler 30 Cal 168gr AccuBond Long Range (100ct) is a premium bullet component designed for handloaders seeking long-range precision, controlled expansion, and effective energy retention in .30‑caliber rifle platforms. Utilizing Nosler’s AccuBond Long Range (LR) technology—a polymer tip seated atop a tapered copper-alloy jacket that is fully bonded to a lead-alloy core—this 168gr projectile delivers aerodynamic efficiency, reliable expansion, and approximately 60–70% weight retention. Each box contains one hundred polished, weight-sorted bullets ready for precision seating and custom load development.

Manufactured to a .308″ bullet diameter with a streamlined Spitzer boat-tail profile, the 30 Cal 168gr AccuBond LR achieves a high G1 ballistic coefficient (~0.455) and a sectional density (SD) near 0.273. These high-BC features reduce drag and wind drift, supporting flat trajectory and retained velocity—ideal for cartridges like .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and 300 Winchester Magnum. The polymer tip protects the meplat during feeding and initiates consistent expansion upon impact.

The bonded-core design ensures the copper-alloy jacket remains securely attached through heavy tissue and bone, enabling deep, straight-line penetration. With an overall length around 1.375″, this bullet stabilizes well in barrels with 1:10″–1:12″ twist rates. This makes it suitable for long-range hunting and tactical shooting where precision and terminal performance are both critical.

Field performance reports consistently praise the 30 Cal 168gr AccuBond LR for clean wound channels, high retained energy, and one-shot ethical kills on elk, deer, antelope, and other game at ranges exceeding 800 yards. The boat-tail profile further enhances downrange accuracy and wind resistance during shots in open or rugged environments.

This item is strictly a bullet component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Handloaders should refer to Nosler’s official load data and respected reloading manuals. Recommended powders include Hodgdon H‑4831SC, IMR 7828, or Reloder 22, known for delivering stable burn and consistent pressures suitable for heavy, high-BC .30‑caliber bullets. Proper case preparation, consistent neck tension, precise seating depth, and exact cartridge overall length are essential to ensure safe, repeatable accuracy.

Combining Nosler’s bonded-core AccuBond LR innovation, aerodynamic boat-tail design, and meticulous manufacturing standards, the Nosler 30 Cal 168gr AccuBond Long Range bullet component delivers elite performance for long-range hunting, retained energy, and terminal effectiveness in .30‑caliber rifles.
