Nosler 30 Cal 175gr RDF (500ct)

The Nosler 30 Cal 175gr RDF (500ct) is a match-grade bullet component crafted for handloaders demanding long-range accuracy, aerodynamic efficiency, and consistent performance in .30‑caliber rifle platforms. This is strictly bullet-only—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 500 bullets, ideal for load development, competitive target shooting, and precision hunting in cartridges such as 308 Winchester, 30‑06 Springfield, and 300 Win Short Magnum.

Featuring Nosler’s Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) design, the 30 Cal 175gr bullet incorporates a refined secant ogive, minimal meplat, and a sleek boat-tail base to reduce drag and enhance flight stability. The concentric copper-alloy jacket surrounding a swaged lead core offers tight weight tolerances, low runout, and smooth feeding—vital for sub-MOA performance.

With a bullet diameter of 0.308″ and an overall length near 1.220″, this projectile stabilizes best in barrels with a 1:10″ or faster twist rate. Its G1 ballistic coefficient is approximately 0.385 and sectional density around 0.210—attributes that provide flat trajectories, retained velocity, and wind resistance necessary for precision shooting at extended ranges.

Handloaders pairing the 30 Cal 175gr RDF bullet with powders like Hodgdon H4831SC, IMR 4064, or Vihtavuori N150 report consistent velocities, repeatable grouping, and reliable magazine-length seating. The RDF profile supports dependable cycling and smooth feeding in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms under competitive and field conditions.

This bullet component requires use of quality brass, primers, and powder, following verified load data and safe reloading practices. Nosler’s lot-specific weight sorting, visual inspection, and concentricity controls ensure each 30 Cal 175gr RDF bullet meets match-grade standards for accuracy, consistency, and high-volume performance over time.
