Nosler 7mm 185gr RDF (100ct)

The Nosler 7mm 185gr RDF (100ct) is a precision bullet component expertly designed for handloaders seeking aerodynamic efficiency, long-range accuracy, and consistent performance in 7mm rifle platforms. This is strictly a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box includes 100 bullets, perfect for competition shooting, precision hunting, and load development in cartridges like 7mm-08 Remington, 280 Ackley Improved, and 7mm PRC.

Designed with Nosler’s Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) profile, the 7mm 185gr RDF bullet features a secant ogive, minimal meplat, and streamlined boat-tail to reduce drag and improve aerodynamic stability. The concentric copper-alloy jacket encases a swaged lead core, ensuring tight weight tolerances, low runout, and reliable feeding—key factors for repeatable sub-MOA accuracy.

Machined to a diameter of 0.284″ and an overall length around 1.370″, this projectile stabilizes effectively in barrels with a twist rate of 1:9″ or faster. The 7mm 185gr RDF bullet offers a G1 ballistic coefficient near 0.565 and a sectional density of approximately 0.276—metrics that support flat trajectories, velocity retention, and wind resistance at extended ranges.

Handloaders report that pairing the 7mm 185gr RDF bullet with powders such as Hodgdon H4350, IMR 7828, or Vihtavuori N560 produces consistent muzzle velocities, tight groupings, and dependable magazine-length seating. The RDF design supports smooth feeding, clean cycling, and repeatable performance in both bolt-action and semi-auto rifles under match and field conditions.

This bullet component requires use of quality brass, primers, and powder based on verified load data and safe reloading procedures. Nosler’s stringent quality control—including lot-specific weight sorting, visual inspection, and jacket concentricity checks—ensures each 7mm 185gr RDF bullet meets the expectations of serious precision shooters and competitive handloaders.
