Bullet Design and Intended Use
The 140-grain Spitzer Ballistic Tip Hunting bullet combines a polymer tip, a boat-tail profile, and a heavily jacketed base. Nosler positions the load for deer, antelope, and hogs rather than as a general-purpose large-game load.
- Deer-sized game is the manufacturer’s stated use.
- The heavier 140 gr bullet is paired with a 2,650 fps published muzzle velocity.
- Lead-core construction – not lead-free.
- No official wind-drift table is published for this SKU.

FAQ
Why is the Nosler 140 gr Ballistic Tip listed at 2,650 fps?
That is Nosler’s published muzzle velocity from a 24-inch test barrel. Different factory loads use different components and pressure-tested recipes, so velocity should be compared by exact SKU rather than bullet weight alone.
Nosler Ballistic Tip vs Nosler AccuBond – when does the difference matter?
Ballistic Tip Hunting is a lead-core polymer-tipped deer-sized-game design. AccuBond adds bonded construction for controlled expansion and retained integrity. Choose according to game, shot angle, distance, and the manufacturer’s use guidance.
Is 140 gr or 120 gr Ballistic Tip better for deer?
Both are listed by Nosler for deer-sized game. The 120 gr load starts faster; the 140 gr load is heavier. Rifle accuracy and expected impact distance are more useful selection factors than weight alone.
Does Nosler publish a ballistic coefficient for SKU 40064?
The current official ammunition page does not display G1 or G7 ballistic coefficients, so this review lists both as Not found rather than importing values from an unverified secondary listing.
What are the official test conditions?
Nosler lists a 24-inch barrel with a 1:8-inch twist. Its published trajectory table uses a 100-yard zero and a 1.5-inch sight height.
