Nosler 7mm 168gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct)

The Nosler 7mm 168gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct) is a match-grade bullet component engineered for handloaders pursuing long-range precision, aerodynamic consistency, and high-volume reliability in 7mm rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 100 bullets designed for precision cartridges such as 7mm-08 Remington, 280 Ackley Improved, and 7mm PRC used in competition, target shooting, and advanced load development.

This 7mm 168gr HPBT projectile features a refined hollow-point boat-tail profile with a sleek ogive and minimal meplat to reduce drag and enhance flight stability. Nosler constructs the bullet with a swaged lead core and a concentric copper-alloy jacket, providing uniform weight distribution, low runout, and consistent performance—key factors for maintaining sub-MOA accuracy at distance.

Measuring 0.284″ in diameter with an approximate overall length of 1.310″, the 7mm 168gr HPBT bullet stabilizes best in barrels with a 1:9″ or faster twist rate. It boasts a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.505 and a sectional density of 0.256, making it highly effective for retaining velocity, minimizing wind drift, and ensuring flat trajectory across extended ranges.

Handloaders achieve optimal results when using powders like Hodgdon H4350, IMR 4831, or Vihtavuori N560 with this 7mm 168gr HPBT bullet. The design supports reliable magazine-length seating, smooth feeding, and clean chambering in bolt-action rifles tailored for long-range precision shooting. Performance remains consistent across a range of environmental and shooting conditions.

This bullet component is intended for use with quality brass, primers, and powder, following verified reloading data and proper handloading procedures. Nosler’s quality control program includes visual inspection, concentricity verification, and lot-specific weight sorting, ensuring each 7mm 168gr HPBT Custom Competition bullet meets rigorous accuracy and performance expectations for competitive and serious recreational shooters.
