Nosler Match Grade 6.5×284 Norma 140gr HPBT

Nosler Match Grade 6.5×284 Norma 140-grain HPBT ammunition (brand part no. 44166) is built entirely around one goal: winning matches. Nosler loads its own Custom Competition bullet, a hollow point boat-tail design where the tiny meplat exists purely to reduce drag and improve aerodynamic efficiency, not to expand on impact. The pronounced boat-tail profile gives the bullet exceptional flight characteristics across a wide range of velocities, holding tighter groups at extended distances than a standard hunting bullet. Nosler Premium brass rounds out the load, giving competitors a case built to the same exacting standard as the bullet it carries. Boxed 20 to a container, this is serious rifle ammunition for match and precision shooters.
