Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX

The Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX is a premium monolithic hunting bullet component crafted for precision and ethical terminal performance in 6.5 mm-caliber rifles. Weighing exactly 120 gr with a .264-inch diameter, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX features Hornady’s Copper eXpanding (CX) all-copper alloy design, delivering more than 90% weight retention and reliable penetration on medium to large game such as deer, antelope, and black bear.

Featuring a Heat Shield® polymer tip and Secant ogive profile paired with a boat-tail base, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX offers superior ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory. When launched at typical velocities of 2,800–2,900 fps—common in cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor or .260 Remington—the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX maintains excellent downrange velocity, reduced wind drift, and impressive accuracy out to 500 yards.

Constructed with monolithic CX technology, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX resists jacket-core separation and fragmentation. Its copper-alloy construction ensures uniform expansion and deep wound channels through dense tissue. Hunters relying on the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX appreciate its consistent terminal performance and ethical knockdown power at typical hunting ranges.

The 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX is engineered to stabilize in barrels with 1:8 or 1:9 twist rates and feeds reliably in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine-fed rifles. Its smooth bearing surface and optimized ogive support consistent seating depth and tight POI groups at varied shot distances. Reloaders trust the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX for repeatable accuracy and dependable cycling in the field.

Manufactured at Hornady’s facility in Grand Island, Nebraska, the Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX is sold as a bullet component only. Handloaders must pair it with suitable brass, powder, and primers. With strict controls on tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and alloy consistency, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 120gr CX stands as a leading monolithic option for serious hunters seeking clean performance, deep penetration, and flat trajectory in the 6.5 mm-caliber category.
