Balistix .264″/6.5mm 125gr RBT HunTac Bullets – Pack of 50

The Balistix .264″/6.5mm 125gr RBT HunTac Bullets offer a lead-free option for hunting and tactical use. Balistix makes these bullets from more than 99.5% pure copper. In addition, their rebated boat-tail design helps support good flight and a suitable ballistic coefficient.

The HunTac range targets plains and medium game hunting. Therefore, it combines a design that supports bullet expansion with features that help improve flight performance. Each bullet also uses CNC manufacturing to help maintain consistent shape and size.

Furthermore, Balistix treats these bullets with Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN), a dry lubricant that helps reduce friction and copper fouling. The low-friction drive bands also support this goal. Each box contains 50 bullets, making this product a useful option for shooters who need compatible 6.5mm bullet components.

Pure Copper Construction

Balistix makes HunTac bullets from more than 99.5% pure copper. Unlike lead-core bullets, this design contains no lead. As a result, it offers an alternative for shooters who prefer lead-free bullet components.

Copper is less dense than lead. Therefore, a copper bullet can weigh less than a lead-core bullet of similar length. This may allow higher speeds in a suitable rifle setup. However, the actual result depends on the cartridge, load and firearm.

Balistix also uses CNC manufacturing to help keep each bullet’s shape consistent. In addition, the manufacturer states that it keeps bullet diameter within SAAMI tolerance limits.

Rebated Boat-Tail Design

The RBT HunTac features a rebated boat-tail base. This shape helps manage gas flow as the bullet leaves the muzzle and supports a design that aims to balance precision with aerodynamic performance.

Furthermore, the boat-tail shape aims to support a suitable ballistic coefficient. Balistix reports potential accuracy gains compared with conventional boat-tail designs. However, actual results depend on the rifle, ammunition and shooting conditions.

Tangent Ogive Design

The HunTac bullet uses a tangent ogive, which can make bullet performance less sensitive to bullet jump. As a result, this shape offers flexibility when setting the bullet’s seating position in a compatible cartridge.

In addition, shooters can measure bullet position with a suitable ogive comparator. Always follow the manufacturer’s specifications and safe reloading practices when choosing compatible components.

Low-Friction Bearing Surface

Balistix uses low-friction drive bands to help reduce contact friction as the bullet travels through the barrel. This design aims to limit copper fouling and support smooth bullet travel.

Furthermore, the manufacturer designs the bearing surface within SAAMI tolerance limits. However, you should still confirm that the bullet suits your rifle and cartridge before use.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN) Treatment

Hexagonal Boron Nitride is a dry lubricant that handles high temperatures well. Balistix applies HBN to its HunTac bullets to help reduce friction and fouling.

This treatment aims to offer several benefits:

• Less Fouling: Helps reduce fouling compared with untreated monolithic bullets.
• Lower Friction: Helps the bullet travel through the barrel with less friction.
• More Consistent Speeds: May reduce extreme velocity spread under suitable conditions.
• Consistent Shot Performance: May help reduce differences between cold-bore and follow-up shots.

Actual results vary with the rifle, load, barrel condition and other factors.

Designed for Hunting Applications

The Balistix HunTac range suits hunting and tactical applications. This 125gr model targets medium game and combines a copper body with a rebated boat-tail design.

For best results, check that the bullet weight suits your rifle’s twist rate and cartridge. In addition, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and all local hunting laws.
