The Nosler 26140 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for 6.5 Creedmoor shooters. This 140-grain spitzer point bullet combines the precision needed for long-range shots with the terminal performance required for clean, ethical harvests.
What Makes This Different
The Ballistic Tip design features a polycarbonate tip that initiates expansion while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency downrange. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding, the polymer tip ensures consistent ballistic coefficient shot after shot. The boat-tail base reduces drag, extending effective range compared to flat-base designs.
Key Features
- 140-grain spitzer point bullet optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics
- Polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion on impact
- Boat-tail design reduces drag and improves long-range accuracy
- Tapered jacket construction ensures 60-70% weight retention
- Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Premium powder charge for velocity consistency
- 50 rounds per box for extended range sessions
Field testing shows this load typically achieves 2,710 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrels with sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles. The controlled expansion makes it suitable for medium game hunting from whitetail deer to antelope at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. The consistent ballistic coefficient maintains predictable drop and wind drift calculations for precision shooting applications.
