Available Bullets

The Whitetail Country line features two standout bullets: the Solid Base and the Straight-Wall. The Solid Base bullet, known best for its precision and terminal performance, incorporates a fifth-generation tapered jacket and a heavy solid base to deliver deep penetration and optimal expansion. Its boat-tail design and aerodynamic profile promise superior accuracy and wind resistance, making it a perfomance-driven choice for deer hunters.

Whitetail solid choice

Nosler’s Straight-Wall bullet is tailored for the slower impact velocities typical of straight-wall cartridges. It boasts a flat base, a thin jacket at the tip, and a lead nose to ensure reliable expansion, even at extended ranges. The truncated nose design allows for smooth feeding across various action types, while the form-fitted lead core enhances stability and accuracy. This cutting-edge design mirrors the stopping power of standard bottleneck rifle cartridges while being fully compliant with straight-wall cartridge regulations. Whitetail Country ammunition sets a new standard in deer hunting, providing unparalleled terminal performance and reliable expansion to kill deer quick. This new line represents both a nod to tradition and a leap forward in precision and power, ensuring every shot counts.
