Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What are Nosler Custom Competition Bullets primarily used for?
Nosler Custom Competition Bullets are specifically designed for competitive target shooting and long-range accuracy. Their precision manufacturing and aerodynamic design make them popular among competitive shooters and those seeking maximum accuracy for training or match shooting.

2. What is the advantage of a Jacketed Hollow Point Boat Tail (JHPBT) design?
The Jacketed Hollow Point Boat Tail design offers a high ballistic coefficient, improving long-range accuracy by reducing drag. The hollow point enhances stability and uniformity in flight, while the boat tail minimizes turbulence, helping the bullet maintain a flatter trajectory.

3. Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
While Nosler Custom Competition bullets are designed for precision target shooting, some shooters do use them for hunting. However, they lack expansion characteristics ideal for hunting games, so it’s best to choose a bullet designed for terminal performance if hunting is the primary goal.

4. What is the recommended twist rate for these bullets?
For optimal performance, Nosler recommends a twist rate of 1:8 or faster for stabilizing the 140-grain bullet in 6.5mm calibers. A suitable twist rate ensures stability in flight and accuracy at long ranges.

5. Can I use these bullets with any 6.5mm rifle?
These bullets are compatible with rifles chambered in 6.5mm calibers, such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, and 6.5 Grendel, as long as the twist rate is appropriate for the 140-grain weight.

6. Are these bullets lead-free?

No, Nosler Custom Competition Bullets are not lead-free. They contain a lead core encased in a copper jacket and are not suitable for regions where lead-free ammunition is required.

7. How consistent is the weight of these bullets?
Nosler maintains strict quality control to ensure bullet consistency. The 140-grain bullets are manufactured with very tight tolerances to promote uniform weight, leading to reliable performance and accuracy.

8. What kind of ballistic coefficient (BC) can I expect from these bullets?
The Nosler Custom Competition 140-grain JHPBT bullet has a high ballistic coefficient (typically around 0.529), which provides superior aerodynamics, minimizing wind drift and drag to maintain accuracy at extended ranges.

9. Do these bullets come pre-lubed or coated?
Nosler Custom Competition bullets do not come pre-lubed or coated. They are standard jacketed hollow points without additional coatings, allowing users to apply lubrication or coatings based on their specific reloading preferences.

10. Are there bulk purchase options available for these bullets?
Yes, Nosler often provides Custom Competition bullets in bulk packs, making them a cost-effective choice for high-volume shooters. You can check with suppliers for bulk options that fit your reloading needs.
