The Nosler Ballistic Tip .30-06 Springfield 165-grain load (Nosler part no. 40043) is a 20-round box of hunting ammunition built around a spitzer Ballistic Tip bullet. Nosler lists a muzzle velocity of 2950 fps and 3188 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 24-inch test barrel, and every round is loaded in Nosler Premium Brass. The Ballistic Tip hunting bullet has a heavily jacketed base that acts as a platform for large-diameter mushrooms, while the boat-tail design enhances long-range accuracy. Nosler optimizes this bullet weight for maximum effectiveness on deer, antelope and hogs, which suits a .30-06 Springfield hunting rifle at the stand or in the blind.
