Loaded in .223 REM/5.56 NATO, the Nosler .223 REM/5.56 NATO 55gr Ballistic Tip (part no. 61025) drives a 55-grain Ballistic Tip downrange for varmint and predator control. Nosler builds this load around consistent, factory-tested components. The polymer tip initiates expansion across a wide range of impact velocities while streamlining the bullet profile for a flatter, more consistent trajectory downrange. It is one of the rifle ammunition options stocked here, chosen for real-world performance rather than shelf filler. This is a load built to perform the same way on the tenth box as it did on the first.
