A Bullet Built for Accuracy
Nosler designed the Custom Competition line to deliver consistent, match-grade accuracy without the markup. These 30 caliber (.308”) 168 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) bullets feature:
- Engineered concentricity for predictable flight
- Highly uniform jackets to reduce drag and improve downrange stability
- Precision-formed boat tails for flat trajectory and higher ballistic coefficient (BC)
The result is a highly accurate projectile that’s ideal for .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 7.62 NATO, and other .30-caliber loads.
Designed for the Demands of Precision Shooters
Whether you’re reloading for competitive shooting, tactical training, or long-range practice, the 168gr HPBT profile has long been a favorite. Nosler takes that proven design and refines it for tighter groups and reliable performance across different rifles.
Use Nosler 168gr HPBT bullets for:
- Sub-MOA load development in .308 Win
- Precision rifle shooting at mid to long ranges
- Affordable match ammo alternatives
- Tactical rifle builds where repeatable accuracy matters
This bullet is particularly well-suited for semi-auto platforms as well as bolt-action rifles.
