The Nosler 6.5mm 123-Grain Custom Competition Hollow Point Boat Tail Bullets, 1000-Count (brand part no. 59744) are a 123-grain 6.5mm bullet from Nosler built as a Custom Competition hollow point boat tail (HPBT) projectile for handloaders. A hollow point with a small meplat reduces drag for aerodynamic efficiency, paired with a pronounced boat tail and a jacket that’s hand-inspected and form-fit to the lead-alloy core for consistent balance. Reloaders load this bullet for match-grade competition and long-range target shooting, seating it over a charge worked up for their own rifle or pistol. As a component bullet, it ships without powder or primer, ready for the reloading bench.
