Bullet Information

Nosler® Ballistic Tip®
The Ballistic Tip bullets are precision made and individually inspected for quality. The heavy jacket base prevents bullet deformation during firing and holds together at extreme velocities making them a perfect companion for Weatherby loads. A polycarbonate tip that resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact. The bullet’s mid-section keeps it together at any velocity until impact, and a uniform, pure lead core eliminates possible imbalance and erratic flight typically caused by air pockets.
