Polymer Silvertip:
Polymer Silvertip prevents deformationin the magazine.
Ultra-Thin Jacket Mouth:
Assures violent expansion at either end of the velocity scale.
Lubalox ®Exterior Coating:
Reduces fouling, pressure and friction between bullet and bore; provides longer barrel life, easier cleaning and enhanced accuracy.
Varmint Jacket Wall Design:
The uniform, gradual thickening at the bullet’s mid-section is designed to keep the Ballistic Tip® Varmint together until impact – at any velocity.
Heavy Jacketed Base:
Prevents bullet deformation during firing.
Polymer Silvertip:
Polymer Silvertip prevents deformation in the magazine.
Lubalox ®Exterior Coating:
Reduces fouling, pressure and friction between bullet and bore; provideslonger barrel life, easier cleaning and enhanced accuracy.
Fully Tapered Jacket and Special Lead-Alloy Core:
Allows controlled expansion and optimum weight retention at all practical velocity levels. The heavy jacketed base prevents bullet deformation during firing.
Heavy Jacketed Base:
Acts as a platform for large- diameter mushroom.
Ballistically Engineered Solid Base®:
Boat tail configuration combines with the streamlined polymer tip for extreme long-range performance and for easier loading.
Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip Bullets
CT Ballistic Silvertip® bullets combine all the features of Nosler Ballistic Tip® hunting or varmint bullets, but with the addition of an advanced Lubalox® external treatment that reduces fouling and creates less barrel wear to promote longer barrel life.
Streamlined polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine, provides a streamlined meplat for flat trajectory, and initiates positive expansion on impact with small and medium game.
What is Lubalox?
Lubalox® is the trade name Winchester uses to describe a black oxide process. It is a very thin oxide bullet coating, often compared to the bluing on a steel firearm.
What are the benefits of Lubalox?
The primary benefit of Lubalox is reduced barrel fouling. The process creates a surface on the bullet jacket, which increases the amount of shots possible between cleanings. Unlike moly-coated bullets, Lubalox-coated bullets leave the barrel residue-free and do not require barrel “seasoning”. Additionally, unlike uncoated bullets that tarnish over time, Lubalox protects the surface of the bullet jacket, keeping it looking like new.
Will Lubalox harm the gun barrel?
Lubalox does not harm the barrel. In fact, testing shows that the coating often reduces barrel fouling. Lubalox coating is not a Moly coating.
