The Nosler Ballistic Tip 6mm 90gr Hunting Bullet (brand part no. 24090) is a component hunting bullet built around Nosler’s proven polymer-tip design. Nosler engineered the Ballistic Tip Hunting bullet to be very predictable and extremely forgiving. The polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine, initiates expansion upon impact, and is color-coded by caliber. The fully tapered jacket and special lead-alloy core allow controlled expansion and optimum weight retention at all practical velocity levels. A heavy jacket base prevents bullet deformation during firing and acts as a platform for a large-diameter mushroom, while Nosler’s solid-base boat-tail design, combined with the polycarbonate tip, dramatically increases long-range ballistic efficiency. At 90 grains, this is the lighter of Nosler’s two 6mm Ballistic Tip options in this batch, cataloged for .243-caliber rifles.
