Hornady Match Bullets 264 Caliber, 6.5mm (264 Diameter) 140 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail

Hornady Match Bullets in 264 caliber (6.5mm, 264 diameter) are precision rifle bullets engineered for reloaders who demand consistency and accuracy. Each 140-grain hollow point boat tail bullet is manufactured using Hornady's advanced production process, which focuses on the exacting tolerances that serious shooters and handloaders require. Whether you're building ammunition for target competition, long-range hunting, or load development, these bullets are designed to perform at the highest level.

The engineering behind Match Bullets centers on two critical factors: jacket concentricity and core consistency. Hornady uses an Advanced Manufacturing Process to produce jackets with minimal tolerance for runout—meaning the jacket walls are uniform and centered on the core. The lead cores themselves are precision swaged to eliminate variation, so each bullet weighs and balances like the last one. This uniformity translates directly to tighter groups and more predictable ballistics downrange.

The secant ogive profile reduces aerodynamic drag, which helps deliver a flatter trajectory and better retained velocity at distance. The hollow point boat tail design contributes to both ballistic performance and terminal consistency. For reloaders committed to match-grade ammunition, these bullets represent the kind of quality control that separates good loads from exceptional ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles do these 264 caliber bullets fit?

These bullets are manufactured to 264 diameter and are designed for cartridges that chamber .264 caliber rounds—such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 264 Winchester Magnum, 6.5 PRC, and similar 6.5mm rifle calibers. Always verify your specific cartridge and rifle specifications before loading.

Why are Match Bullets better for reloading than standard bullets?

Match Bullets are engineered for consistency in jacket concentricity, wall thickness, and core weight. This precision reduces shot-to-shot variation in your ammunition, which directly improves group size and reliability—especially important in competitive or precision-focused handloading.

What does the secant ogive profile do?

The secant ogive design reduces aerodynamic drag, which helps the bullet maintain velocity and trajectory at distance. This profile is favored for long-range and match shooting where flatter trajectories and retained energy matter.

Can I use these bullets for hunting?

Yes. The 140-grain hollow point boat tail is suitable for hunting applications where your specific caliber and cartridge combination is appropriate for your intended game. Always follow local regulations and hunting practices for your region and quarry.
