The Nosler 40064 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for 6.5 Creedmoor rifles. This premium hunting cartridge features Nosler's proven ballistic tip design that combines the accuracy of a match bullet with the expansion characteristics needed for clean, ethical harvests.
What Makes This Different
The color-coded polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion while the boat-tail base maintains velocity and reduces wind drift at extended ranges. Unlike standard soft-point bullets, the ballistic tip design provides a higher ballistic coefficient of .509, resulting in flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange. The heavy jacket base prevents bullet separation during penetration while the tapered jacket ensures consistent expansion across a wide velocity range.
