The Balistix Bullets .264″/6.5mm HunTac 120gr are lead-free, monolithic copper bullets designed for hunting and tactical applications. Made from more than 99.5% pure copper, these bullets combine a lightweight construction with a design intended to support reliable expansion and a favourable ballistic coefficient (BC).
The HunTac design is particularly suited to plains game hunting, where a balance of aerodynamic performance and controlled expansion is important. In addition, its rebated boat-tail profile is designed to support stable flight, while the tangent ogive helps reduce sensitivity to bullet jump.
Furthermore, each bullet features a low-friction drive band design and a Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN) coating. These features are intended to reduce copper fouling and friction, helping support consistent performance. Supplied in a pack of 50, the Balistix HunTac 120gr is an option for shooters seeking a lead-free bullet design for a compatible 6.5mm rifle.

Lead-Free Monolithic Copper Construction
The Balistix HunTac 120gr uses a monolithic design made from more than 99.5% pure copper. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, this construction contains no lead and offers an alternative for shooters seeking lead-free ammunition components.
Copper has a lower density than lead. Therefore, a monolithic copper bullet can weigh less than a lead-core bullet of similar length. This may allow higher velocities in suitable rifle setups, although actual results depend on the cartridge, load and firearm.
Rebated Boat-Tail Design
The HunTac bullet features a rebated boat-tail profile designed to support aerodynamic efficiency. Its shape helps manage airflow around the bullet as it leaves the muzzle and is intended to combine the precision benefits of a flat-base design with the ballistic advantages of a boat tail.
In addition, the boat-tail angle follows a common industry design standard intended to support a favourable ballistic coefficient. Actual accuracy and ballistic performance depend on the rifle, ammunition components and shooting conditions.
Tangent Ogive for Flexible Bullet Seating
The tangent ogive profile is designed to be less sensitive to bullet jump than some alternative profiles. This design can offer flexibility in how the bullet aligns with the rifling in a compatible rifle.
Furthermore, the bullet’s position can be assessed using an appropriate ogive comparator. Always follow the bullet manufacturer’s specifications and use established reloading safety practices when selecting compatible components.
Low-Friction Bearing Surface
The HunTac bullet uses a drive band design intended to reduce friction as the bullet travels through the barrel. This can help limit copper fouling and support lower-friction performance.
The bearing surface is designed within SAAMI dimensional tolerances. However, compatibility must still be confirmed for the specific rifle, cartridge and intended application.
Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN) Coating
Hexagonal Boron Nitride is a solid lubricant known for its ability to withstand high temperatures. On the Balistix HunTac bullet, the HBN treatment is intended to improve lubrication and reduce friction.
According to the product design information, this treatment may help provide:
- Reduced fouling compared with untreated monolithic bullets.
- Lower friction during bullet travel.
- Reduced extreme velocity spread under suitable conditions.
- More consistent performance between the first and subsequent shots.
Actual results will vary depending on the rifle, load, barrel condition and other factors.
Designed for Hunting Applications
The Balistix HunTac range is designed for hunting and tactical applications, with particular emphasis on plains game hunting. Its design combines a boat-tail profile, a tangent ogive and a monolithic copper construction intended to support ballistic performance and bullet expansion.
Choose the correct bullet weight for your rifle’s twist rate and confirm that the bullet is suitable for your intended cartridge. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and applicable local hunting regulations.
