Nosler 8mm 200gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct)

The Nosler 8mm 200gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct) is a match-grade bullet component designed for hand loaders seeking long-range precision, aerodynamic stability, and consistent performance in 8mm rifle platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box includes 100 bullets ideal for precision shooting and competition in calibers like 8mm-06 Ackley, 8mm Remington Magnum, and 8mm PRC.

Featuring a hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) design, the 8mm 200gr HPBT bullet offers a refined ogive and small meplat to reduce drag and improve downrange stability. Nosler constructs each projectile with a concentric copper-alloy jacket over a swaged lead core, ensuring tight weight distribution, minimal runout, and reliable feeding—key factors for sub-MOA accuracy in bolt-action and autoloading rifles.

Machined to a precise 0.323″ diameter with an overall length near 1.300″, this projectile stabilizes effectively in barrels with a 1:10″ or faster twist rate. Its G1 ballistic coefficient is approximately 0.450, and sectional density is around 0.236—strengths that support flat trajectory, energy retention, and wind resistance in extended-range conditions.

Reloaders report excellent results pairing the 8mm 200gr HPBT bullet with powders such as Hodgdon H4831SC, IMR 7828, or Vihtavuori N560. Its HPBT profile supports magazine-length seating and smooth feeding, delivering tight groups and consistent velocities in competition or field environments.

This bullet component must be assembled with quality brass, primers, and powder using verified load data and safe reloading procedures. Nosler’s strict quality control—including lot-specific visual inspection, weight sorting, and concentricity checks—ensures each 8mm 200gr HPBT bullet meets match-grade standards for accuracy, consistency, and reliable high-volume performance.
