Nosler Ballistic Tip 6.5 PRC 140gr Hunting Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Nosler 43457 Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for 6.5 PRC hunters. This precision-loaded cartridge combines Nosler's proven Ballistic Tip bullet technology with match-grade components for consistent shot placement at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

The Ballistic Tip bullet features a polycarbonate tip that initiates rapid expansion while the boat tail design maintains velocity and reduces wind drift. Unlike standard hunting bullets that may pencil through or fragment unpredictably, this design provides controlled expansion with 60-70% weight retention. The spitzer profile delivers a ballistic coefficient of .509, significantly outperforming traditional cup-and-core bullets in long-range applications.

Key Features

• 140-grain Ballistic Tip spitzer boat tail bullet optimized for 6.5 PRC velocities
• Polycarbonate tip initiates expansion at impact velocities down to 1,800 fps
• Boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectory and less wind drift
• Lead alloy core bonded to gilding metal jacket for controlled expansion
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable chambering
• Match-grade powder charges provide velocity consistency within 15 fps
• Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications

Field testing shows this load achieves sub-MOA accuracy in most quality rifles with muzzle velocities averaging 2,940 fps from 24-inch barrels. The bullet performs effectively on medium game from whitetail deer to elk at ranges exceeding 400 yards. Temperature stability remains consistent across hunting conditions from -20°F to 120°F, making it reliable for varied climates and elevations.
