What rifle cartridges are compatible with the Hornady 129 Grain SP Model 2620 bullets?

These bullets feature a .264 inch diameter and are strictly intended for 6.5mm rifled barrels. They can be handloaded into a wide variety of standard cartridge cases including 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, .260 Remington, and 6.5 PRC.

What is the recommended operating distance for these Spire Point bullets in the field?

The Model 2620 bullets are designed primarily for short-to-medium hunting distances, typically performing best up to approximately 300 to 400 metres. For extreme long-range hunting beyond 500 metres, high-BC polymer-tipped boat-tail projectiles are generally better suited.

Are there any specific Australian licensing requirements to purchase these reloading bullets?

Yes, while reloading projectiles are unregulated in some Australian states, they are subject to ammunition component and firearm licence requirements in jurisdictions such as New South Wales, Western Australia, and Victoria. XHunter will verify relevant state and territory licensing requirements before dispatching your order.

How do these bullets perform upon impact on medium game?

These 129 grain Spire Point bullets utilise Hornady's InterLock ring, a mechanical interior ring that locks the tapered copper jacket and one-piece lead core together. This design minimises core-jacket separation, retains kinetic energy, and ensures controlled expansion on game weighing between 50 lbs and 300 lbs.

6.5mm Reloading Bullets - Hornady 2620

The Hornady 6.5mm .264 129 gr InterLock Spire Point (SP) Bullets (MPN: 2620) are traditional cup-and-core reloading projectiles engineered for medium game hunting. Featuring Hornady's signature InterLock ring, an exposed lead tip, and a secant ogive profile, this 129-grain bullet delivers aerodynamic stability and controlled terminal expansion. It is designed for handloaders assembling cartridges for standard .264-inch bore rifles, including popular chamberings such as the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, .260 Remington, and 6.5 PRC.

Key Features

InterLock Internal Ring: Mechanically locks the one-piece lead core to the jacket during terminal penetration, significantly reducing core-jacket separation to retain bullet mass and energy.
Secant Ogive Profile: Delivers an efficient aerodynamic shape with an extended bearing surface, contributing to lower drag and a flatter trajectory.
Controlled Expansion Jacket: Engineered with interior jacket grooves that weaken the nose section symmetrically, combined with a tapered jacket wall to regulate mushrooming across varying impact velocities.
Integrated Cannelure: Provides an accurate, uniform groove for case crimping that works alongside the internal InterLock ring to keep the core seated firmly under recoil.

Who is the Hornady .264 6.5mm 129 Grain SP Bullets 100 Pack for?

Medium game hunters — requires controlled expansion and mass retention for field game weighing between 50 lbs and 300 lbs (approx. 23 kg to 136 kg), utilizing this 129 grains reloading bullet with a 0.264 sectional density to ensure deep penetration on feral pigs, goats, and deer.
6.5mm rifle handloaders — loads standard .264-calibre hunting ammunition for short-to-medium field engagements out to 300–400 metres, benefiting from the 0.445 G1 ballistic coefficient provided by this 100-pack of 6.5mm reloading bullets to achieve reliable aerodynamic stability.
