Overview

Nosler Trophy Grade SKU 60080 loads a 140-grain AccuBond in 6.5 Creedmoor. Nosler's 2026 Product Guide lists the load at 2,650 fps and 2,183 ft-lbs at the muzzle and rates it for deer- and elk-sized game.

AccuBond is a bonded bullet: Nosler builds it with a copper-alloy jacket chemically bonded to a lead-alloy core and a polymer tip. Bonding is what keeps jacket and core together through heavy bone, which is the reason this construction gets recommended for elk-sized animals rather than a conventional cup-and-core soft point.

Nosler's catalog row publishes velocity and energy but no ballistic coefficient for the loaded round, so no BC appears here. Chronograph the actual rifle before building trajectory data or setting an impact-velocity limit for expansion.

−Premium pricing above conventional soft-point deer loads
