Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr RDF (500ct)

Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr RDF (500ct)

The Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr RDF (500ct) is a premium bullet component tailored for handloaders prioritizing long-range precision, flat trajectory, and controlled expansion. This product consists of bullets only—it is not factory-loaded ammunition. Offered in a 500-count box, this 140gr projectile is engineered with Nosler’s reputation for ballistic excellence, making it ideal for target competition, hunting, and custom rifle handloads in 6.5mm calibers.

Featuring the RDF (Reduced Drag Factor) design, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr RDF bullet combines an ultra-refined ogive and secant ogive profile with a small meplat—minimizing aerodynamic drag and enhancing ballistic efficiency. The copper-alloy jacket encloses a lead-alloy core, producing consistent weight and balanced expansion. This construction ensures high weight retention and excellent accuracy at extended ranges.

Machined to a precise 0.264″ diameter, the Nosler 6.5mm 140gr RDF bullet measures approximately 1.446″ in overall length and stabilizes effectively in barrels with twist rates from 1:8″ to 1:9″. Key ballistic specifications include a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.555 and a sectional density of 0.242—facilitating flat trajectories, retained energy, and precise performance for long-range shooting and hunting applications.

Reloaders have reported that the 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr RDF bullet delivers exceptional groupings and repeatable shot placement when paired with powders like Hodgdon H4350, Varget, or IMR 4350. Its RDF profile provides a high ballistic coefficient, reducing wind drift and velocity loss. The consistent jacket and core design produces reliable expansion on game animals such as deer and antelope, while maintaining accuracy in precision rifle matches.

The component nature of this product emphasizes the importance of pairing the Nosler 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr RDF bullet with appropriate brass, primer, and powder combinations. Handloaders should follow reliable load manuals and observe safe reloading practices for optimal performance. With its aerodynamic profile, match-grade consistency, and Nosler quality control, the 6.5mm 140gr RDF bullet offers handloaders a versatile and effective solution for both competition and hunting scenarios.
