Nosler Bullet

I have not loaded this bullet yet, but I have checked them out and they seem to be well-made with no markings or scrapes from the manufacturing process. I will know more when I load them and shoot them.
With a 6.5 Grendel

I'm using these with my 6.5 Grendel with CFE223 powder and getting about 2500fps from my 20in. I killed a mule deer at 100 yards it went down immediately. The BC is 500 which is the best for a 120gr 6.5mm lead free bullet.
Not .264

I can measure Nosler .264 lead bullets with my Swiss Made calipers and get exactly .264 These all copper bullets measure between .263 and .264 so I would say they are .2636 This explains why once fired 26 Nosler brass full length sized with button on a Forster Die, does not hold the bullet firm enough. You can move the bullet after seating with a little manual push. Nosler factory ammo in this bullet shoots under .400 routinely in my custom Rem 700/Krieger barrel. Load appears to be US 869 at 90.3 grains. I loaded same in the full length resized once fired and got horrible results. Next loaded same load in once fired neck sized only with .290 bushing and duplicated the factory Nosler ammo results.
Pricey, but...

I've been loading the NOSLER 6.5MM(.264)120gr Sptz BULLET BallisticTip for a 260 Rem one of my grandsons shoots. However, neither Grafs nor anyone else has them in stock. I swallowed hard (because of the price) and bought the E-tip as a substitute. Using the same load data, the E-tip shoots to the same POI. In addition, it makes five shot groups of CONSISTENTLY less than 1 MOA, which is a tad better than the BT. Three deer harvested with the E-tip have all succumbed quickly. All shots were well placed.
