Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct)

The Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr HPBT Custom Competition (100ct) is a precision bullet component engineered for match-grade handloading, long-range target shooting, and competitive performance in 6.5mm rifle platforms. This is strictly a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 100 high-precision bullets optimized for cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor, 260 Remington, and 6.5×55 Swedish.

Built around Nosler’s Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) Custom Competition profile, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr bullet features a refined secant ogive, small meplat, and sleek boat-tail base. These elements work together to reduce drag and enhance aerodynamic stability for long-range accuracy. A uniform copper-alloy jacket surrounds a swaged lead core, ensuring exceptional concentricity, minimal runout, and tight weight tolerances.

Machined to a bullet diameter of 0.264″ and an overall length near 1.315″, this 6.5mm 140gr HPBT bullet stabilizes best in barrels with a twist rate of 1:8″ or faster. It carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.529 and a sectional density around 0.287—delivering high retained velocity, flat trajectory, and reliable resistance to crosswinds at extended distances.

Handloaders commonly pair the 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr HPBT bullet with powders such as Hodgdon H4350, Alliant Reloder 16, or Vihtavuori N555. These combinations yield consistent muzzle velocities, tight groupings, and reliable seating depth across various magazine configurations. The bullet feeds smoothly in both bolt-action and semi-auto rifles chambered for long-range precision work.

This bullet component should be assembled with quality brass, primers, and powder following published load data and safe reloading procedures. Nosler’s quality assurance process includes jacket concentricity checks, lot-specific weight sorting, and visual inspections—ensuring that every 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr HPBT Custom Competition bullet meets the expectations of serious competitors and precision reloaders.
