Rifle bullets are different from other types of ammunition in several respects. They are typically longer, more streamlined, and have a higher velocity compared to handgun bullets. The shape and design of rifle bullets are intentionally made for long-range accuracy and to maintain their ballistic performance over distance. The most common and honestly the only way of using rifle bullets is reloading. If you are into reloading your own ammunition and own a rifle, you simply can't do without rifle bullets. Here're some of the rifle bullet types you can find on Gritr Sports.
Soft Point Rifle Bullet
The soft point rifle bullet, often known as a "lead tip," is a popular choice among hunters. The exposed lead at the tip of the bullet helps to initiate expansion upon impact, causing the bullet to mushroom and deliver a wide wound channel. That makes the soft point bullet particularly effective for hunting game where deep penetration and high energy transfer are important. Despite its age, the soft point bullet remains a relevant and versatile choice.
Spire Point Rifle Bullet
The spire point rifle bullet is characterized by its aerodynamic shape, with a pointed tip that significantly reduces air resistance. This design allows for a flatter trajectory and greater accuracy over long distances, making spire point bullets a favorite among target shooters and varmint hunters. They are widely used for small game hunting and plinking. While they may not expand as dramatically as soft point bullets, their reliability and consistent performance make them a popular choice.
Flex Tip Rifle Bullet
The flex tip rifle bullet features an innovative design that combines the benefits of the traditional hollow point bullet and the pointed bullet. The flexible tip aids in aerodynamics while also promoting rapid, controlled expansion upon impact. This combination of features results in a bullet that can fly straight and true, then deliver devastating damage on impact. Flex tip bullets are often chosen for both hunting and self-defense purposes, offering a versatile solution that adapts to various situations.
Gritr Sports boast a wide selection of rifle bullets. There are many calibers to choose from (22 long rifle bullets are one of the most numerous categories), and types don't lag behind. On this page, you can find any rifle bullet you may need, most likely, at least.

FAQs
What are rifle bullets made of?
Rifle bullets are typically made from a lead core that is often jacketed in another metal such as copper or steel. Some specialized bullets may use other materials like tungsten or steel for the core.
What is the difference between soft point and spire point rifle bullets?
Soft point bullets have an exposed lead tip designed to expand upon impact, making them ideal for hunting. Spire point bullets, on the other hand, have a pointed tip that reduces air resistance, offering greater accuracy over long distances.
Can I use any type of rifle bullet in my rifle?
Not all bullets can be used in all rifles. It's essential to match the caliber and size of the bullet to your specific rifle. Always refer to your firearm's manual or consult with a knowledgeable source to ensure you're using the correct ammunition.
