The Nosler 24080 Ballistic Tip delivers exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for 6mm cartridges. This 80-grain spitzer point bullet combines match-grade precision with reliable expansion for varmint hunting and target shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
The Ballistic Tip's polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion while the boat-tail base design reduces drag for flatter trajectories. Unlike standard hunting bullets, the engineered lead-alloy core and tapered jacket ensure consistent weight retention between 40-60%. This controlled expansion design produces larger wound channels than full metal jacket bullets while maintaining structural integrity through various impact velocities.
Key Features
- 80-grain weight optimized for 6mm cartridges including .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor
- Polycarbonate color-coded tip prevents deformation in magazine and initiates expansion
- Boat-tail base design reduces drag coefficient for extended range accuracy
- Lead-alloy core with tapered jacket for controlled expansion and weight retention
- Spitzer point profile maintains high ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.329
- Match-grade construction with consistent concentricity tolerances
- 100-count bulk packaging for volume reloaders and competitive shooters
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles when properly loaded. The 80-grain weight provides excellent performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes at ranges exceeding 300 yards. Terminal ballistics show reliable expansion down to 1,800 fps impact velocity, making this bullet effective across various hunting scenarios. Weather-resistant tip construction maintains performance in temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F.
