Nosler RDF Match Bullets in .30 caliber .308" diameter, 168-grain hollow point boat tail configuration delivers the precision and ballistic performance demanded by competition shooters and precision rifle builders. RDF stands for Reduced Drag Factor—a design philosophy built from the ground up to minimize wind drift and maximize downrange accuracy through an optimized compound ogive and extended drag-reducing boat tail.
The 168-grain HPBT configuration balances velocity retention with stable flight characteristics across temperature and altitude variations common in long-range environments. The meticulously engineered boat tail geometry reduces pressure fluctuations during loading, making handload development more forgiving while producing tighter velocity spreads—a critical factor when chasing group sizes at extended distances. These bullets are engineered for .308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, and other .308" diameter cartridges.
This 100-count box suits handloaders preparing for competition matches, precision rifle courses, or intensive training cycles. Precision shooters—whether running F-Class, precision service rifle, or custom bolt guns—rely on RDF bullets for consistent performance where small deviations compound over distance. The HPBT design provides reliable expansion at typical match velocities while maintaining the structural integrity needed for consistent ballistic coefficients shot to shot.
Nosler's RDF line is positioned at the intersection of match-grade performance and practical reloading tolerances—offering handloaders an alternative to custom boutique bullets without compromising the ballistic consistency required for precision work.
