For deer, antelope, and hog hunters demanding controlled expansion and deep penetration, the Nosler Ballistic Tip 6.5 Creedmoor brings 120 grains of polymer-tipped precision to the field. This is 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammo engineered around Nosler’s flagship hunting bullet — a design trusted for decades by shooters who measure terminal performance in clean one-shot kills, not follow-up tracking. You chamber a cartridge that exits the muzzle at 2900 fps, carries 2240 ft-lbs of energy, and maintains a ballistic coefficient of 0.458 for flat trajectory and wind resistance at hunting distances. Nosler loads this ammunition in-house, using their own brass, Boxer primers, and visual inspection protocols refined over 60 years of bullet manufacturing.

Built for the Box

Nosler brass forms the foundation — dimensionally uniform, hardness-tested, and built for multiple firings when you reload. The Ballistic Tip bullet features a polycarbonate tip that resists magazine deformation and initiates controlled expansion on impact. The heavy jacket base prevents core separation at high velocities, while the tapered jacket mid-section regulates expansion rates. Pure lead core construction eliminates voids and weight imbalances that cause fliers. Boxer primers and non-corrosive powder complete the load. Country of origin: United States. This ammunition is supersonic at all practical hunting ranges.

Specs at a Glance

The 120-grain weight sits in the mid-range of 6.5 Creedmoor hunting bullets — light enough for minimal recoil and high velocity, heavy enough for adequate penetration on whitetail-sized game. This load is optimized for deer, antelope, and hogs at ranges where most hunting occurs. Browse the full selection of 6.5 Creedmoor ammo for match, training, and other hunting options.
