Hornady 6.5 140gr BTHP Match Bullets

Hornady 6.5 140gr BTHP Match Bullets are designed for shooters who demand consistent accuracy and reliable long-range ballistic performance. The 140 grain BTHP Match features a streamlined hollow-point boat-tail profile. As a result, it provides a precision-oriented projectile for suitable .264″ rifles.

Why Choose Hornady 6.5 140gr BTHP Match Bullets?

The Hornady 6.5 140gr BTHP Match combines a proven 140 grain bullet weight with an aerodynamic design. As a result, the profile helps maintain velocity and reduce wind-drift effects at longer distances.

Furthermore, the boat-tail design supports efficient flight downrange. The secant ogive also contributes to the streamlined profile. Therefore, the bullet provides a practical option for shooters who value consistent external ballistic performance.

Hornady’s BTHP Match design is intended for precision shooting rather than dedicated hunting use. For this reason, it suits target shooting, competition and other applications where accuracy and repeatable ballistic performance are important.

Long-Range Applications

The 6.5 140gr BTHP Match suits shooters looking for a precision-oriented .264″ projectile for target shooting, competition and long-range load development. Its 140 grain weight provides a useful option where ballistic efficiency and consistent accuracy are important.

Furthermore, the .580 G1 BC helps the bullet retain velocity during flight. This also helps reduce the effects of wind drift as range increases.

The BTHP Match is a match projectile rather than a dedicated hunting bullet. Therefore, it is best suited to precision applications where consistent external ballistics are the main priority.

The .264″ specification refers to bullet diameter, not to a specific cartridge. For this reason, reloaders should confirm cartridge compatibility, seating depth, magazine length and current manufacturer load data for their individual rifle.

Hornady 140gr BTHP Match for Precision Shooting

The Hornady 6.5 140gr BTHP Match is suited to shooters who value accuracy and predictable ballistic performance. In particular, its streamlined profile supports efficient flight and consistent external ballistics.

The published G1 BC of .580 provides a useful figure for ballistic calculations. In addition, the .287 sectional density reflects the relationship between the 140 grain bullet weight and its .264″ diameter.

Furthermore, the boat-tail and secant ogive contribute to the bullet’s aerodynamic profile. As a result, the design provides a practical option for precision load development in suitable 6.5mm rifles.

However, shooters should confirm the appropriate twist rate, seating depth, magazine length and current manufacturer load data for their individual rifle.
