The Nosler Custom Competition 6.5 Creedmoor .264 140 gr HPBT is purpose-built for the shooter who demands match-grade accuracy from the loading bench to the target. If you're handloading for precision rifle competition, long-range hunting, or bench rest shooting, these bullets are engineered to deliver the consistency and flight characteristics that separate competitive loads from the rest. Each box contains 100 rounds of premium rifle bullets, ready to seat in your custom ammo.
What makes these bullets stand apart is Nosler's attention to the details that matter at distance. The hollow point (HPBT, or hollow point boat tail) design serves a specific purpose: the small tip—what ballisticians call the meplat—reduces drag and improves the bullet's aerodynamic profile as it travels downrange. That efficiency matters when you're trying to maintain velocity and trajectory over 500+ yards. The pronounced boat-tail geometry complements this design, promoting stable flight across a wide velocity window. Whether you're pushing these at moderate speeds or running them hot, they're tuned to perform consistently.
Nosler pairs a premium custom-quality jacket with a precisely formulated lead-alloy core. The jacket form-fits the core during manufacturing, ensuring that mass is distributed evenly and the bullet's center of gravity stays true—critical for rotational stability and accuracy. Hand inspection at Nosler's facility means each batch meets their standards before it reaches your reloading press. If you're serious about load development for 6.5 Creedmoor, these components reward the care you put into your handloads.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting, or are they competition-only?
These are Nosler Custom Competition bullets, engineered first and foremost for match-grade accuracy and consistency. While suitable for long-range hunting applications that demand precision, they're optimized for competitive shooting disciplines. Always follow local regulations and ensure your load choice is appropriate for your intended use.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, allowing you to develop and test multiple competitive loads without frequent reordering.
Will these bullets work in my 6.5 Creedmoor rifle?
Yes, these are .264" diameter bullets designed for 6.5 Creedmoor and other .264" cartridges. Always verify proper fit in your specific rifle and follow established handloading practices for your caliber.
