Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 100gr HP

The Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 100gr HP bullet component is a premium hollow-point projectile designed for firearm enthusiasts seeking precision, explosive terminal performance, and versatility across 6.5mm cartridges. Introduced in 1960 as bullet #1710, this 100 grain hollow point (HP) deliversQuarter-MOA accuracy in high-performance cartridges like the .264 Winchester Magnum, while also performing superbly in smaller-capacity 6.5mm cases—making it a go-to choice for long-range varminting and medium-game hunting.

Featuring a hollow-point cavity and streamlined spitzer ogive, the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 100gr HP is engineered for explosive expansion and accuracy. In rifles with adequate velocity—especially magnum-level cases—the thin jacket promotes consistent fragmentation on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and similar varmints. Despite its lightweight profile, the bullet remains stable in flight and produces tight groups, with quarter‑MOA performance frequently reported from .264 Win Mag rifles.

In high-velocity handgun platforms such as the 6mm TCU or larger wildcats used in single-shot pistols (e.g., Contender, XP‑100), the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 100gr HP retains its excellent accuracy and terminal energy. With velocities reaching handgun benchmark speeds, this bullet delivers effective performance on varmints and even medium-sized game—though its lightweight design makes it less appropriate for full-size silhouette targets or large-game hunting via pistol.

Reloaders will appreciate the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 100gr HP’s meticulous construction—featuring exact weight tolerances, concentric jackets, and precise bearing surface geometry. When paired with match-grade powders, the bullet produces repeatable muzzle velocities and consistent group sizes, making it ideal for competition shooters, varmint hunters, and long-range enthusiasts seeking rapid energy transfer on small targets.

Overall, the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 100gr HP bullet component offers a powerful combination of match-grade accuracy and explosive terminal performance tailored to 6.5mm cartridges. Whether engaging varmints at extended ranges or hunting medium-sized game in rifle or high-velocity pistol platforms, this 100 grain hollow point bullet delivers dependable, field‑tested results across modern shooting disciplines.
