Nosler 6.5 PRC ammunition loaded with 140-grain Ballistic Tip bullets is built for hunters who demand consistency and terminal performance across a range of game and hunting scenarios. The 6.5 PRC cartridge has earned a solid reputation for flat shooting and energy retention, and this factory-loaded round pairs that case with one of Nosler's most proven hunting bullets. Whether you're glassing for whitetail, mule deer, or pronghorn, these rounds deliver the downrange velocity and accuracy needed for ethical kills at distance.
The Ballistic Tip design combines a polymer tip with a boat-tail profile to reduce wind drift and improve ballistic coefficient while keeping muzzle velocity stable. The polymer tip also protects the bullet nose from compression damage during feeding and recoil, a practical advantage when you're running rounds through a magazine day after day on a hunt. With a muzzle velocity of 2900 fps and muzzle energy of 2614 ft-lbs, this load sits in the sweet spot for 6.5 PRC performance without excessive recoil or barrel wear.
Nosler manufactures their own ammunition to the same tolerances as their component bullets, so you're getting factory-quality control and consistency in every box. Twenty rounds per box means enough to practice with before the season, or to carry as a reliable backup load in the field. This is serious hunting ammunition for shooters who understand that match matters—caliber to bullet to load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hunting situations is 6.5 PRC 140-grain ammunition good for?
This load is suitable for hunting medium to large game including whitetail, mule deer, and pronghorn.

Why does the Ballistic Tip bullet have a polymer tip?
The polymer tip serves two purposes: it improves the aerodynamic profile and ballistic coefficient of the bullet for better downrange performance and wind resistance, and it protects the bullet nose from being deformed or compressed during magazine feeding and handling in the field.
