Overview
Built for precision rifle loading, this 6.5mm, 123 grain boat tail hollow point projectile is aimed at shooters who want consistent results for competition, long-range work, and target shooting. Its match-grade design includes Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, a swaged lead core, and a streamlined profile intended to support uniformity and low drag. The listed ballistic coefficient and sectional density reflect a bullet designed with long-distance use in mind, while the 100-count box suits reloaders working up or maintaining a dedicated load. It is a component bullet, not loaded ammunition, so it’s best for handloaders who want control over their final cartridge setup.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- These are projectiles, not loaded ammunition, so they require separate components and proper loading setup before use.
- The 123 grain BTHP profile is presented for competition, long-range, and target shooting; it is not described as a hunting-specific bullet.
- The product is optimized around match use and accuracy-focused attributes, so it may not be the right choice if you need a general-purpose or field-expedient option.
- Performance details are tied to the stated caliber, diameter, and bullet profile, so compatibility and results depend on using the correct 6.5mm/.264" application.
