The Nosler RDF (Reduced Drag Factor) Rifle Bullets in .22 caliber, 85 grain HPBT (brand part no. 54601), were designed from the ground up to deliver exceptionally high ballistic coefficients for the flattest trajectory and least wind drift possible in this caliber. Nosler builds the RDF line around a meticulously optimized compound ogive and a long, drag-reducing boat-tail, a combination that makes handloading straightforward while producing an incredibly sleek form factor. RDF bullets also feature the smallest, most consistent meplats of any hollow-point match bullet line, so there is no need to point or trim tips before loading. This bulk 500-count box is built for competitors who want match-grade consistency without the extra bullet-prep step.
