Key Takeaway
Nosler Match Grade SKU 60023 is identified as a 69 gr Custom Competition HPBT target load. Its current manufacturer ballistic table was not found, so this report leaves muzzle and downrange values unfilled instead of using retailer data or a similar load.
Official Ballistics
A current manufacturer-published ballistic table for exact SKU 60023 was not found. Comparable-load data and retailer-listed velocity are not substituted for official Nosler factory data.
Bullet and Load Design
This load uses Nosler’s Custom Competition hollow-point boat-tail bullet and Nosler Premium Brass. The Match Grade line is intended for precision target use, with the HPBT form designed around consistency and aerodynamic efficiency.
Nosler’s current Match Grade catalog lists the 77 gr 223 Remington load but not SKU 60023. That absence is not treated as proof of a formal discontinuation, so the product-status row states only what can be verified.
Best Uses
Good fit:
- Target and match shooting
- Shooters looking for a 69 gr HPBT factory load
- Rifles that reliably stabilize the bullet and feed the exact cartridge
Not the right tool for:
- Hunting applications that require a purpose-built expanding bullet
- Using an unverified retailer trajectory as manufacturer data
- Assuming the same zero or drop as another 69 gr load
Reliability Notes
No standardized multi-firearm reliability test was found for exact SKU 60023. Confirm feeding, extraction, ignition, velocity, and point of impact in the specific rifle and ammunition lot.
