Description
You need the 180-grain Viper with a rebated boat tail—not another generic heavy 7mm bullet
The handloader considering a 180-grain .284 bullet is already solving a demanding fit problem. Twist, throat, magazine length, seating position and cartridge capacity all have to support the projectile before its base design becomes useful. Once those boundaries are established, the LD and ULD Vipers answer two different construction requirements.
This Viper ULD combines the family’s exposed lead-tip soft point with a rebated boat tail. Choose it when that base geometry belongs in the load-development plan. The adjacent Viper LD uses a flat base and is a physically different component.
Why this version exists
- Viper identity: exposed lead-tip soft point rather than the Scorpion open tip.
- ULD geometry: Ultra Low Drag profile paired with a rebated boat tail.
- Heavy-class purpose: for a rifle and cartridge already evaluated for a 180-grain .284 bullet.
- Clear adjacent choice: select the LD version when the project calls for a flat base.

This listing is for component bullets, not loaded ammunition. Confirm actual bullet dimensions, twist, throat, seating depth, magazine clearance and published load data for the rifle. This pointed bullet is not for conventional tubular magazines. Accuracy, stability and terminal behavior depend on the completed load, firearm and impact conditions.
