.30 Caliber 168-Grain Spitzer Nosler Ballistic Silver Bullets
The Nosler Ballistic Silvertip bullets in .30 caliber and 168 grains are engineered to deliver superior accuracy and controlled expansion, critical factors for effective medium-game hunting and precision shooting. Featuring a sleek, aerodynamic silver polymer tip, these projectiles are designed to resist deformation within the magazine feed lips and initiate consistent, reliable expansion upon impact with medium-sized game animals.
These bullets incorporate a proprietary Lubalox® coating on the exterior jacket, significantly reducing barrel fouling, chamber pressure, and friction during the firing cycle. This advanced surface treatment extends barrel life, simplifies cleaning procedures, and enhances shot-to-shot precision, making it ideal for both seasoned marksmen and reloaders seeking optimal ballistic performance.
The fully tapered copper jacket is paired with a specialized lead alloy core, engineered to provide controlled expansion while maintaining optimal weight retention across a wide velocity spectrum. The heavy jacket base prevents bullet deformation during the high-pressure acceleration phase and serves as a stable platform for achieving wide, consistent expansion diameters upon impact, maximizing terminal effectiveness.
The solid boat tail base design, combined with the polymer tips aerodynamic profile, ensures exceptional ballistic coefficients and stable flight characteristics at extended ranges. This configuration also facilitates reliable feeding and extraction in bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms, while offering reloaders a consistent bullet geometry for precision handloading applications.
