150-Grain .284 Viper ULD Lead-Tip Bullets — Rebated Boat Tail, 50 Count

Description

The 150-grain Viper for the handloader choosing Ultra Low Drag geometry

You are not looking for “a 7mm bullet.” You have narrowed the project to 150 grains and want the physical design that separates the Viper ULD from an ordinary flat-base spitzer: an exposed lead-tip soft point with a rebated boat tail. This is that bullet.

The choice inside the 150-grain Viper family is straightforward. Select this ULD when the rebated boat tail and Ultra Low Drag profile are central to the load you want to develop. Select the Viper LD flat base when you want the same weight and lead-tip family with a physically different base.

What this gives your loading project

• A defined 150-grain lane: more mass than the 139- to 145-grain choices while remaining below the 160- to 175-grain class.
• Viper identity: an exposed lead-tip soft point rather than the Scorpion open-tip construction.
• ULD rebated boat tail: the defining geometry and the reason to choose this product over the Viper LD flat base.
• Small-batch availability: hand swaged and made to order for a load project that cannot be answered by a generic substitute.

Know the platform boundary before you load

This is a pointed spitzer bullet. Do not use it in a conventional tubular magazine where the bullet tip rests against the primer of the cartridge ahead of it. Cartridge fit, seating depth, throat clearance, magazine length, stability, and safe load development must be verified in the actual rifle with current published data.

This listing is for component bullets, not loaded ammunition. Actual accuracy and terminal behavior depend on the completed load, firearm, impact conditions, and target medium. ULD identifies this bullet’s design family; no numeric ballistic coefficient or universal terminal-performance promise is made.

Use the larger 7mm knowledge path

The 7mm Rifle & Bullet Compendium places this component in the larger 7mm system. The bullet length and stability Technical Note explains why geometry matters beyond grain weight, while the 7mm Cartridge Bullet Selection Guide helps determine whether this design belongs in the cartridge and rifle you are loading.
