The Nosler 26120 Ballistic Tip bullets deliver consistent accuracy and devastating terminal performance for 6.5mm cartridges. These 120-grain spitzer bullets feature Nosler's proven ballistic tip design that combines flat trajectory with controlled expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
The polycarbonate tip initiates expansion while the tapered jacket and lead core ensure controlled mushrooming. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding, the ballistic tip maintains aerodynamic efficiency while protecting the nose from damage. The boat-tail base reduces drag for flatter trajectories and less wind drift at extended ranges.
Key Features
- 120-grain weight optimized for 6.5mm cartridges including 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Remington
- Polycarbonate tip prevents deformation and initiates rapid expansion
- Tapered jacket design controls expansion from 1,800 to 3,000 fps
- Boat-tail base improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
- Lead core bonded to jacket for 60-70% weight retention
- Spitzer profile maintains velocity and reduces wind drift
- Packaged in protective foam tray with 50 bullets per box
These bullets excel in hunting applications from whitetail deer to antelope at ranges from 100 to 400 yards. The 120-grain weight provides excellent sectional density in 6.5mm bore, penetrating adequately while expanding reliably. Match-grade accuracy potential makes them suitable for precision shooting and long-range hunting where first-shot placement is critical. The ballistic tip design functions consistently across temperature extremes and maintains expansion characteristics in both high and moderate velocity impacts.
