The Nosler Match Grade RDF .22 Creedmoor 85gr HPBT ammunition (Nosler part no. 51297) is a box of 20 rounds aimed at shooters who chase flat trajectory and low wind drift. It is loaded with a 85gr HPBT RDF bullet and Nosler Premium Brass. The RDF bullet has a long, drag-reducing boat-tail and the smallest, most consistent meplats of any hollow point match bullet line, which Nosler says delivers exceptionally high ballistic coefficients. Nosler rates this load at 3175 fps and 2433 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle from an 18-inch test barrel. It is listed for target and match use in .22 Creedmoor.
