6mm Creedmoor ammo loaded with Nosler’s 95-grain Ballistic Tip bullet delivers the accuracy and terminal performance medium game hunters demand. The 6mm Creedmoor cartridge combines mild recoil with flat trajectory—ideal for precision shots on deer, antelope, and hogs at distances where bullet construction matters. Nosler’s Ballistic Tip projectile features a polycarbonate tip that resists magazine deformation and initiates expansion on impact, paired with a heavy jacket base that prevents blowup at high velocities. The uniform pure lead core eliminates internal voids that cause erratic flight, while the mid-section holds together through impact for deep, consistent wound channels.
Load Profile
Nosler builds this load around premium in-house components: dimensionally consistent brass cases manufactured to the same tolerances as their match-grade bullets, Boxer primers for reliable ignition, and projectiles that undergo individual visual inspection before packaging. At 3100 fps muzzle velocity and 2027 ft-lbs energy, the 95-grain Ballistic Tip strikes the balance between speed and retained mass—enough velocity for flat shooting inside 400 yards, enough weight to penetrate vitals and exit on broadside shots. The 0.379 G1 ballistic coefficient keeps wind drift manageable in field conditions. Nosler brass is reloadable, extending the utility of each fired case for handloaders who prefer to tailor their own hunting loads.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition.

Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Always follow the four rules of firearm safety—treat every firearm as if it is loaded, never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify that your firearm is chambered for 6mm Creedmoor and is in safe operating condition before loading. Consult your rifle’s manual for maximum pressure ratings and compatibility with polymer-tip projectiles.
- This ammunition contains lead. Wash hands after handling. California Proposition 65 warning: exposure to lead during use can cause birth defects and reproductive harm. See www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information.
