Overview
Built for hunters loading 6.5mm/.264 cartridges, this 129-grain bullet is part of Hornady’s traditional line and is intended for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. Its exposed lead tip and secant ogive profile are designed for efficient flight characteristics, while the InterLock design helps keep the core and jacket locked together during expansion. It is a practical choice for those assembling hunting loads and should be matched with verified load data from a reloading manual or powder manufacturer.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- These are traditional exposed-lead bullets, so they are not a match for hunters who specifically want a non-expanding or polymer-tipped design.
- Load data is not included here; the listing directs users to a reloading manual or powder manufacturer website before use.
- The product description says most bullets in this line feature the secant ogive and InterLock design, so those details are not presented as universal across every item in the line.
- This is a 100-count box, which is practical for reloaders but may be more than needed for occasional use.
