Nosler 30 Cal 168gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct)

The Nosler 30 Cal 168gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct) is a precision-engineered bullet component designed for handloaders who demand consistent long-range performance, aerodynamic efficiency, and match-grade accuracy in .30-caliber rifle systems. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. With 100 bullets per box, it’s ideal for custom loads in cartridges such as 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, and 300 WSM used in precision shooting and target disciplines.

Built around a hollow-point boat-tail profile, the 30 Cal 168gr HPBT bullet features a refined ogive and small meplat to minimize drag and enhance stability over distance. The copper-alloy jacket is formed concentrically around a swaged lead core, ensuring tight weight tolerances, uniform density, and minimal runout—all critical to consistent accuracy and repeatable shot placement.

With a bullet diameter of 0.308″ and an approximate overall length of 1.240″, this projectile performs best in barrels with a twist rate of 1:10″ or faster. Its G1 ballistic coefficient is approximately 0.395, and its sectional density is around 0.224, supporting flat trajectories, retained velocity, and reliable performance in variable wind conditions.

Many reloaders pair the 30 Cal 168gr HPBT Custom Competition bullet with powders such as Hodgdon Varget, IMR 4064, or Vihtavuori N150 for optimal velocity consistency and sub-MOA accuracy. Its profile allows reliable seating to magazine length, smooth feeding, and dependable chambering in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles built for long-range precision.

This bullet component should be assembled with quality brass, primers, and powder using published load data and safe handloading techniques. Nosler’s quality control protocols—including jacket concentricity evaluation, weight sorting, and batch-specific visual inspection—ensure that every 30 Cal 168gr HPBT bullet meets the standards of serious competitive shooters and demanding reloaders.
