Barnes Bullets Tac-Tx 6.5Mm (0.264'') Boat Tail 115Gr 50/Box

The Barnes Bullets Tac-TX 6.5mm rifle bullet is a solid-copper projectile purpose-built for reloaders who demand accuracy and reliable performance at any distance. Unlike traditional lead-core rounds, these all-copper boat-tail bullets deliver controlled expansion and exceptional weight retention, whether you're working up handloads for precision range sessions or building ammunition for hunting at extended range. Each box contains 50 bullets ready to seat into your preferred brass and powder charge.

What sets the Tac-TX apart is its engineered geometry: the boat-tail profile improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory and more consistent downrange energy, while the double-diameter expansion design ensures the bullet performs predictably from close quarters through distant targets. Because they're copper through and through, these projectiles track straighter through intermediate barriers—a real advantage if your hunting takes you into brush, light cover, or varied terrain where a bullet may encounter unexpected obstacles before reaching game.

The 115-grain weight in 6.5mm (.264") diameter is a versatile choice for reloaders working with cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and similar modern mid-range hunting calibers. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a long-range rifle or building consistent ammunition for competition or hunting, the Tac-TX's reputation for accuracy makes load development straightforward. Fifty rounds per box means you have a practical quantity for developing and testing without excessive waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

What reloading cartridges are these bullets suitable for?

The 6.5mm 115-grain Tac-TX is compatible with modern 6.5mm rifle cartridges. Common applications include 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and similar mid-range hunting and match-grade calibers. Always verify your specific cartridge's load data and pressure limits before beginning any reload.

How do all-copper bullets differ from traditional lead-core rounds?

All-copper Tac-TX bullets offer better weight retention during expansion and track straighter through barriers like brush or intermediate materials. They're engineered for controlled, double-diameter expansion that performs reliably across a wide range of velocities and distances, making them a premium choice for hunters and precision shooters who demand consistency.

Is the boat-tail design important for hunting or long-range shooting?

The boat-tail profile improves the bullet's ballistic coefficient, which helps maintain velocity and energy at distance, resulting in flatter trajectory and more consistent downrange performance. This becomes increasingly important for extended-range hunting or precision shooting where every advantage matters.

What's included in a box of Tac-TX bullets?

Each box contains 50 individually ready-to-load 115-grain 6.5mm boat-tail bullets. The quantity is practical for load development, testing, and building your hunting or match ammunition in batches.
