The Nosler 40056 Ballistic Tip ammunition in 260 Remington delivers exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for medium game hunting. This premium hunting cartridge features a 120-grain spitzer ballistic tip bullet engineered for consistent performance at extended ranges. Hunters targeting deer, antelope, and similar-sized game benefit from the proven terminal ballistics and flat trajectory this load provides.
What Makes This Different
The Ballistic Tip design combines a polymer tip with a tapered jacket to initiate rapid expansion while maintaining weight retention. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding, the polymer tip ensures consistent ballistic coefficient and reliable chambering. The boat-tail base design reduces drag for flatter trajectories compared to flat-base bullets, extending effective range by 50-75 yards over conventional designs.
Key Features
- 120-grain spitzer ballistic tip bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
- 260 Remington caliber optimized for medium game hunting applications
- Boat-tail design reduces drag and extends effective range
- Tapered jacket construction controls expansion and weight retention
- Match-grade brass cases for consistent powder capacity and accuracy
- Factory-loaded with premium powders for optimal velocity consistency
- 20 rounds per box packaging for hunting season preparation
Field performance demonstrates muzzle velocities around 2,950 fps with consistent accuracy under 1.5 MOA in quality rifles. The 120-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration on medium game while maintaining enough velocity for reliable expansion at ranges exceeding 300 yards. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures reliable ignition in adverse hunting conditions, while the ballistic tip initiates expansion even at reduced velocities encountered at longer distances.
