Balistix Bullets .277″ HunTac 130gr – Qty 50

The Balistix .277 HunTac 130gr Bullets offer a versatile choice for hunting and tactical use. They suit plains game hunting, where hunters need good ballistic performance and bullet expansion. In addition, their monolithic copper design offers a lead-free alternative to traditional lead-core bullets.

Each bullet combines high-purity copper with a rebated boat tail, tangent ogive and low-friction bearing surface. Furthermore, the HBN treatment helps reduce fouling and supports consistent performance.

Key Features

• 130-grain bullet: Designed for hunting and tactical use.
• .277 calibre: For compatible .277-calibre rifles and loads.
• Lead-free material: Made from more than 99.5% pure copper.
• Rebated boat tail: Supports ballistic performance and precision.
• Tangent ogive: Allows seating-depth adjustments when tuning loads.
• Low-friction design: Helps reduce copper fouling.
• HBN treatment: Adds lubrication and helps limit fouling.
• Pack size: Contains 50 bullets.

Pure Copper Construction

Balistix uses more than 99.5% pure copper to make these HunTac bullets. As a result, they provide a lead-free option for hunters. Copper also has a lower specific gravity than lead. Therefore, a copper bullet can weigh less than a lead-core bullet of similar length.

This lower weight may allow higher speeds with a suitable load. However, results depend on the rifle, cartridge and load. Always follow the manufacturer’s advice when matching bullet weight to your rifle’s twist rate.

Rebated Boat Tail Design

The rebated boat tail helps manage gas flow as the bullet leaves the muzzle. In addition, its shape combines a flat-base-style design aim with the ballistic benefits of a boat tail.

This design aims to improve precision and accuracy. However, actual results depend on your rifle, load and shooting conditions.

Tangent Ogive Design

The HunTac bullet features a tangent ogive. This shape is less sensitive to bullet jump, so reloaders have more flexibility when adjusting seating depth.

The ogive also engages with the rifling lands rather than using a bore-rider design. Furthermore, reloaders can measure bullet position with a suitable ogive comparator tool. This helps them fine-tune their loads for their rifles.

Low-Friction Bearing Surface

Balistix designs the bearing surface within SAAMI tolerances. It also uses a low-friction drive-band design to help reduce copper fouling and support lower-pressure characteristics.

As a result, this design aims to promote consistent performance. Always use suitable published load data and follow safe reloading practices.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN) Treatment

Hexagonal Boron Nitride, or HBN, acts as a solid lubricant. It also handles high temperatures well. Balistix uses this treatment to help improve the performance of its monolithic bullets.

The HBN treatment aims to:

• Reduce fouling compared with untreated monolithic bullets.
• Help lower pressure compared with untreated bullets under suitable conditions.
• Reduce extreme velocity spread.
• Support consistent accuracy between cold-bore and follow-up shots.
• Help reduce changes in elevation between shots.

However, results can vary with the rifle, load and shooting conditions.
