Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr AccuBond (50ct)

The Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr AccuBond (50ct) is a high-quality bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking consistent performance and terminal effectiveness from their .264-caliber rifles. Developed with Nosler’s proprietary bonded-core AccuBond design, it offers a proven combination of rapid expansion, deep penetration, and retained bullet weight. This construction makes it a preferred option for big-game hunters using modern 6.5mm platforms.

Weighing 140 grains and measuring .264″ in diameter, this bullet provides a sectional density of approximately 0.287—an ideal range for achieving full penetration on medium to large game. Its boat-tail base and polymer-tipped Spitzer profile produce a high ballistic coefficient (G1 ~0.509), giving it exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. These features ensure flat trajectories and minimal wind drift at longer distances.

The AccuBond line is known for its precision manufacturing, and the Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr AccuBond (50ct) is no exception. Each bullet in the 50-count box is crafted in the United States under rigorous quality control standards, with tight weight tolerances and minimal runout. This results in predictable pressure curves, excellent seating consistency, and reduced standard deviation in velocity.

Upon impact, the bullet’s bonded front core expands rapidly while the solid rear section drives forward to maintain momentum and ensure deep wound channels. This controlled expansion and weight retention enable hunters to take clean, ethical shots on deer, elk, antelope, and similar-sized game. The design is particularly effective when used in cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55 Swedish, or 26 Nosler.

The Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr AccuBond (50ct) performs best in barrels with twist rates between 1‑8″ and 1‑9″, which are standard across most factory and custom-built 6.5mm rifles. When paired with appropriate powders and primer combinations, this bullet can reach muzzle velocities from 2,800 to 2,900 fps. Such velocities result in muzzle energy suitable for extended-range hunting with reliable expansion and terminal performance.

Packaged in a 50-count box, the Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr AccuBond (50ct) is clearly identified as a component for reloading and not loaded ammunition. For reloaders demanding precision, consistent ballistics, and field-proven expansion characteristics, this bullet remains a top-tier choice across a range of 6.5mm hunting applications.
