Nosler 30 Cal 168gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct)

The Nosler 30 Cal 168gr HPBT Custom Competition (250ct) is a match-grade bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking aerodynamic efficiency, precision accuracy, and consistent shot-to-shot performance in .30‑caliber rifle systems. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition—and each box contains 250 bullets, making it ideal for long-range target shooting, competition, and hunting in platforms such as 30‑06 Springfield, 308 Winchester, and 300 Winchester Short Magnum.

This 30 Cal 168gr HPBT bullet features a hollow-point boat-tail profile with a streamlined ogive and minimal meplat to reduce drag and enhance stability. Its concentric copper-alloy jacket encases a swaged lead core, delivering precise weight distribution, tight concentricity, and minimal runout—key factors for keeping shot groups consistent across varying distances and environmental conditions.

With a bullet diameter of 0.308″ and an overall length of approximately 1.240″, the Nosler 30 Cal 168gr HPBT bullet stabilizes effectively in barrels with a 1:10″ or faster twist rate. It carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of around 0.395 and a sectional density near 0.224—performance metrics that support flat trajectories, sustained velocity, and reduced wind drift in extended‑range shooting.

Reloaders pairing this projectile with powders such as Hodgdon H4831SC, IMR 4064, or Vihtavuori N560 report sub‑MOA groupings, consistent velocities, and dependable feeding. The HPBT design supports smooth magazine-length seating and clean chambering in both bolt-action and semi‑automatic platforms used in competitive and tactical environments.

This is a bullet component only and must be handloaded using quality brass, primers, and powder, following verified load data and safe reloading methods. Nosler’s rigorous lot-control protocols—including visual inspection, weight sorting, and concentricity checks—ensures each 30 Cal 168gr HPBT bullet delivers the precision, consistency, and long-range performance that serious shooters expect.
