Nosler Custom Competition .224 Cal 77gr HPBT Cannelure Bullets

Nosler Custom Competition Rifle Bullets in .224 caliber, 77 grain HPBT with cannelure (Nosler part no. 53033), pair Nosler’s Custom Competition bullet jackets with the company’s ultra-precise lead-alloy cores for one of the more accurate match rifle bullets available. The added cannelure gives handloaders a crimp groove for applying a firm case mouth crimp, useful in semi-auto and magazine-fed rifles where bullet setback under recoil or feeding is a concern. The small hollow-point meplat cuts drag, and the boat-tail base keeps flight characteristics consistent across a wide range of velocities.

Key Specifications

• Bullets are .224 caliber, 77 grains, in a hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) profile.

• Bullets ship 250 to a box for extended match or practice sessions.
• The bullet requires a minimum 1-8-inch twist rate barrel to stabilize the heavier 77-grain weight.
