The Nosler 24090 Ballistic Tip delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration for 6mm hunting applications. This 90-grain projectile combines a polymer tip with engineered jacket thickness to ensure reliable performance across varying impact velocities.
What Makes This Different
The color-coded polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities while maintaining structural integrity at high-speed impacts. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding, the ballistic tip design maintains aerodynamic efficiency and feeds smoothly in semi-automatic rifles. The boat-tail base reduces drag by approximately 6% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range.
Key Features
- 90-grain weight optimized for medium game hunting in 6mm calibers
- Polymer tip prevents deformation and initiates controlled expansion
- Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and downrange performance
- Tapered jacket provides 60-70% weight retention after impact
- Compatible with .243 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, and similar cartridges
- Precision-manufactured to ±0.003" diameter tolerance
- 50-count bulk packaging for serious hunters and reloaders
Field testing shows consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion on medium game from 100-400 yards. The controlled expansion pattern creates adequate wound channels while retaining enough mass for complete penetration on deer-sized animals. Temperature stability remains consistent from -20°F to 140°F, making these bullets reliable across hunting seasons and geographic regions.
