Nosler AccuBond Long Range 6.5mm 142gr Bullets

Nosler AccuBond Long Range: Built for Modern Long-Range Hunting

The AccuBond Long Range represents a fundamental shift in hunting bullet design. Nosler engineered this line specifically for shooters and hunters who demand performance beyond 1,000 yards—distances that were once considered impractical for ethical hunting.

Design Philosophy

Traditional hunting bullets require minimum impact velocities around 1,800 fps to expand reliably. The AccuBond Long Range operates differently. Its tapered jacket and proprietary bonding process allow consistent expansion at just 1,300 fps—a critical advantage when shooting at extreme distances where velocity naturally diminishes.

Key Features

• Caliber: 6.5mm (.264" diameter)
• Weight: 142 grains
• Bullet Profile: Spitzer boat-tail with white polymer tip
• Ballistic Coefficient: .719
• Core Construction: Lead core bonded to copper jacket for maximum weight retention
• Count: 100 bullets per box

Performance Characteristics

The bonded core-to-jacket construction ensures the bullet holds together even at ultra-high velocities, preventing premature fragmentation on close-range shots. The sleek boat-tail design and long ogive deliver excellent ballistic efficiency and downrange energy retention.

Rapid expansion transfers energy effectively to the target while the bonded construction maintains weight for deep penetration and significant tissue damage. This combination produces clean, ethical kills across all practical hunting distances.

The Bottom Line

If you're serious about long-range hunting and demand a bullet engineered for the realities of modern optics and cartridge performance, the AccuBond Long Range deserves your consideration.
