Special Features
- Nosler blends Custom Competition bullet jackets with its own lead-alloy cores, producing a bullet that delivers match-grade concentricity and uniform weight distribution for tight, repeatable groups at long range.
- The hollow point boat tail configuration produces consistent in-flight stability and a high G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.415, giving this 80-grain bullet exceptional resistance to wind drift at extended target distances.
- The jacket is drawn to Custom Competition tolerances for wall thickness uniformity, eliminating the variability that leads to vertical stringing and group spread at distance.
- The open hollow point tip provides a consistent meplat diameter for uniform drag characteristics over a wide range of velocities, supporting accurate long-range trajectory prediction.
Practical Benefits
- These bullets are compatible with .22 caliber cartridges including the .223 Remington and .22-250, but perform best in fast-twist barrels of 1-8 inches or faster that are purpose-built for heavy 22 cal match projectiles.
- The 80-grain weight produces the high sectional density and superior ballistic coefficient needed for competitive long-range shooting, making these a natural fit for high-power rifle matches and precision target events.
- The Custom Competition construction gives you lot-to-lot consistency that serious competitors depend on when switching between component supplies mid-season.
- If you reload for a fast-twist .22 caliber rifle and compete at distance or train for long-range precision, the Nosler Custom Competition (25116) gives your handloads the accuracy and ballistic consistency your competitive shooting setup demands.
The Nosler Custom Competition 22 Cal .224 80 Grain HPBT (25116) is a proven platform and confident choice for the serious long-range competitor and handloader seeking a dependable option in the heavy .22 caliber match bullet category.
