Nosler 7mm 185gr RDF (500ct)
The Nosler 7mm 185gr RDF (500ct) is a match-grade bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking aerodynamic efficiency, long-range precision, and consistent performance in 7mm rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only item—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 500 bullets, ideal for high-volume competitive shooting, load development, and field applications using cartridges such as 7mm-08 Remington, 280 Ackley Improved, and 7mm PRC.
Featuring Nosler’s Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) design, the 7mm 185gr RDF bullet incorporates a refined secant ogive, minimal meplat, and streamlined boat-tail base to reduce drag and enhance flight stability. The bullet’s concentric copper-alloy jacket encases a swaged lead core, ensuring tight weight tolerances, low runout, and smooth feeding—all essential for delivering repeatable sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges.
Machined to a diameter of 0.284″ and an overall length near 1.370″, this projectile stabilizes effectively in barrels with 1:9″ or faster twist rates. The 7mm 185gr RDF bullet features a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.565 and a sectional density of about 0.276—attributes that support flat trajectories, retained energy, and effective wind resistance in precision shooting scenarios.
Handloaders pairing the 7mm 185gr RDF bullet with powders such as Hodgdon H4350, IMR 7828, or Vihtavuori N560 report consistent muzzle velocities, tight shot groups, and reliable magazine-length seating. The RDF profile supports clean feeding and dependable cycling in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles under match and field conditions.
This bullet component requires assembly with quality brass, primers, and verified powders according to published load data and safe reloading practices. Nosler maintains strict quality control—including lot-specific weight sorting, visual inspection, and jacket concentricity checks—to ensure each 7mm 185gr RDF bullet meets the standards of serious precision shooters and competitive handloaders.
