Hornady SST Bullets 6.5 mm/.264 in 123 Grain Item 26173

Precise hunting bullet for controlled expansion Polymer tip, InterLock ring, and aerodynamic boat-tail The Hornady SST bullets in caliber 6.5 mm/.264 with 123 Grain are performance-oriented hunting bullets for reloaders who want to combine a flat trajectory, high precision, and controlled expansion on target. With a bullet weight of 7.97 grams, this variant was specifically designed for powerful loadings in 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 LBC, and comparable 6.5 mm calibers. The hard polymer tip improves the aerodynamic shape and is pressed into the lead core upon impact, initiating rapid yet controlled expansion. The Hornady secant ogive reduces air resistance, while the boat-tail base supports clean airflow separation and stable flight characteristics. A centrally positioned crimp groove facilitates uniform bullet seating and contributes to safe handling during reloading. The integrated InterLock ring mechanically connects the bullet jacket and lead core. This keeps the bullet structure more stable during expansion, supports retained weight, and increases the likelihood of a clean kill. The Hornady SST 123 gr is suitable for hunting applications where precision, controlled effect, and reliable terminal ballistics are crucial. The package contains 100 bullets; the manufacturer’s bulk packaging includes 2,500 pieces. These are bullet components for reloading only and not ready-to-shoot cartridges.Technical data:Caliber: 6.5 mm / .264″Bullet weight: 123 Grain (7.97 g)Bullet type: SST with polymer tip and boat-tailBullet profile: secant ogiveBallistic coefficient: G1 approx. 0.510Sectional density: approx. 0.252Bullet diameter: .264″Packaging: 100 pieces per packManufacturer bulk packaging: 2,500 piecesItem number: Hornady 26173Primer: not applicable – bullet component for reloadingRecommended twist rate: approx. 1:9″ or faster, depending on caliber, barrel length, and load
