Nosler Increases Reduced Drag Factor Bullet Line Offerings

Bend, Ore –– Nosler®, Inc. announces the expansion of the very popular Reduced Drag Factor™ (RDF) product line to include new bullet calibers and weights that are in high demand from customers. These new additions include the following in both 100 count and 500 count boxes:
  • 22cal 85gr.—G1 Ballistic Coefficient 0.498 | G7 Ballistic Coefficient .245
  • 6.5mm 130gr.— G1 Ballistic Coefficient 0.615 | G7 Ballistic Coefficient .307
  • 7mm 185gr.—BC field verification in process
  • 30cal 210gr.— BC field verification in process

 

The RDF line was designed from the ground up by Nosler’s world-class team of engineers with the goal of delivering exceptionally high BCs that result in the flattest trajectory and least wind drift possible. Several key design factors contribute to the RDF’s game-changing performance. Nosler’s meticulously optimized compound ogive, which bridges traditional tangent and secant bullet shapes, is insensitive to seating depth, allowing handloaders to seat bullets to magazine length with no loss of accuracy due to bullet jump. Also lending itself to the bullet’s sleek form factor is a long, drag reducing boat-tail, making the product optimal for long range efficiency. Read more

APOPKA, Fla. – Spike’s Tactical, a Florida-based gun and weapons manufacturer, announced Wednesday the issuance of U.S. Patent 9,879,933 by the U.S. Patent Office for Spike’s Recluse, a single stamp, integrally suppressed, 9mm Armalite Rifle (AR) upper receiver.

“We’re very excited about receiving this patent,” said Randy Myers, the inventor behind Spike’s Recluse. “This particular upper receiver will serve as a versatile tool, particularly for law enforcement and emergency service personnel.”
The Recluse is also available for public purchase and features an integral, barrel-nut-mounted firearm sound suppressor. The barrel nut portion and the forward tube are permanently fixed together, creating an extension greater than 16 inches.
