Nosler 22 cal Bonded Performance 64gr Solid Base bullets

The Nosler Cal Bonded Performance bullet is one of the toughest 22 caliber projectiles on the market, and it lands on your bench as a bulk packed component ready to load. This is a 64 grain Solid Base bullet measuring .224 inches, built new from the ground up rather than pulled, blemished, or sold as seconds. If you handload the .223 Remington or another fast .224 cartridge for hunting or home defense, the Nosler Cal Bonded Performance projectile gives you a serious upgrade in terminal toughness. Bulk packaging keeps the price sensible, so you can stock deep for both practice and the loads that really matter. That is the real appeal of a bulk bonded bullet, since you can afford to practice with the very same projectile you carry on a hunt. Feeding a fast .224 this kind of quality component keeps your results honest from the bench to the field. When your practice ammunition and your serious loads use identical bullets, the confidence you build on paper carries straight through to the moment that counts. That is exactly the edge a thoughtful handloader is after.

What the Nosler Cal Bonded Performance bullet is and who it is for

Nosler builds this bullet around its AccuBond bonding process, which welds the core to the jacket and eliminates the core and jacket separation that can rob a light .224 bullet of penetration. A tapered jacket delivers controlled expansion, and the Solid Base drives the expanded bullet deep to maximize terminal performance. A protected point design lets it feed flawlessly in both bolt action and semi automatic rifles.

This is the bullet for the shooter who asks a .22 to do more than punch paper. It is built for hunting medium sized game such as whitetail deer and for defending your home and family, so it fits the hunter and the prepared homeowner alike. When you want your .223 or 5.56 to hit with authority and hold together on impact, this is a far more serious projectile than a typical varmint bullet, and Nosler engineered it specifically for that job.

Specifications woven into your load

At 64 grains this bullet sits at the heavy end for the 22 caliber, and that extra weight is what gives it the sectional density to hold together and penetrate. The bonded construction turns that mass into retained weight after impact, so the Nosler Cal Bonded Performance bullet behaves far more like a big game projectile than a typical varmint pill. Because it is bulk packed and newly made, you get consistent, uniform components without paying for fancy packaging.

Nosler publishes free load data for the .223 Remington using this bullet, so you have a trusted starting point for a safe, accurate recipe. That published data takes a lot of the guesswork out of the workup, letting you settle on a load that stabilizes cleanly and groups the way a bonded hunting bullet should.

Practical use, care, and compatibility

A heavier 64 grain bullet usually wants a faster barrel twist to stabilize, so confirm your rifle’s twist rate before you commit to a big batch. A 1 in 9 twist or faster is a safe bet for a bullet this heavy in the .224 bore. Work up from published minimum charges, watch your pressure, and let the groups tell you where the load settles.

Store the bullets boxed and dry to protect the tips, and keep your batches organized as you load in volume. Add brass, primers, and storage from the rest of our reloading components and gear to build a complete order. Bullets from Nosler are a component and not a firearm.
