Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX

The Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX is a monolithic bullet component built for handloaders seeking deep penetration, controlled expansion, and lead-free performance in 6.5 mm rifles. Weighing 130 gr with a .264‑inch diameter, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX uses Hornady’s Copper eXpanding (CX) all-copper alloy design to retain over 95% of its weight while delivering reliable performance on medium to large game like deer, antelope, and hogs.

The 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX features a Heat Shield® polymer tip and precision-secanted ogive paired with a boat-tail base for an elevated ballistic coefficient. When fired at velocities between 2,800 and 2,900 fps in cartridges such as 6.5 Creedmoor or .260 Remington, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX achieves flat trajectory, wind resistance, and consistent accuracy out to 500 yards.

Constructed with durable monolithic CX technology, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX resists jacket-core separation and fragmentation upon impact. Its copper-alloy body supports uniform expansion and deep wound channels through heavy tissue, making the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX a reliable choice for ethical hunting and terminal consistency.

Stabilizing effectively in barrels with 1:8 or 1:9 twist rates, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX feeds cleanly in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine rifles. The bullet’s polished ogive and concentric jacket support consistent seating depth and tight groupings. Reloaders value the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX for its dependable accuracy and smooth cycling in varied field setups.

Manufactured in Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX is sold as a bullet component only. Reloaders must pair it with compatible brass, powder, and primers. With strict production tolerances on tip alignment, jacket consistency, and alloy integrity, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr CX offers lead-free, precision performance for serious hunters in the 6.5 mm-caliber class.
