Nosler Ballistic Tip Hunting ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel (part no. 61023) loads the proven 120-grain Ballistic Tip bullet over Nosler premium brass, giving compact-rifle hunters a serious big-game option in a mild-recoiling cartridge. Nosler builds the Ballistic Tip around a heavily jacketed base that acts as a platform for controlled, large-diameter expansion, paired with a boat-tail profile that holds velocity and accuracy at extended range. At roughly 2,400 fps, this load delivers the accuracy and downrange punch needed for clean, ethical kills on deer, antelope, and hogs. For hunters running AR-pattern or bolt rifles chambered in 6.5 Grendel, this is rifle ammunition built specifically for the woods, not the range.
