The Nosler 61053 delivers precision hunting performance with its 140-grain Ballistic Tip bullet engineered for the 6.5x55 Swedish cartridge. This ammunition combines Nosler's proven bullet technology with consistent powder charges to maximize accuracy and terminal performance on medium game.
What Makes This Different
The Ballistic Tip bullet features a polycarbonate tip that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity through the vital zone. Unlike standard soft-point bullets, the aerodynamic tip reduces drag for flatter trajectories and higher retained velocity at extended ranges. Each cartridge undergoes weight-sorting and visual inspection to ensure consistent performance shot after shot.
Key Features
- 140-grain Ballistic Tip bullet optimized for 6.5x55 Swedish ballistics
- Polycarbonate tip initiates controlled expansion at impact velocities
- Lead-alloy core bonded to gilding metal jacket for weight retention
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness and capacity
- Temperature-stable powder charges for reliable performance
- Boat-tail design reduces drag and wind drift
- Quality control testing ensures sub-MOA accuracy potential
Field testing demonstrates effective performance on deer-sized game at ranges from 100 to 400 yards. The 140-grain bullet weight provides optimal sectional density for the 6.5x55 Swedish, delivering sufficient penetration while maintaining rapid expansion. Ballistic coefficients support flat trajectories that simplify range estimation in hunting scenarios.
