Fox Classic Hunter 6.5 mm (.264″) 139 gr Bullets
Fox Classic Hunter is a lead-free hunting bullet for reloaders, made by Fox Bullets in Slovenia. The 139 gr is the heaviest weight in the maker’s 6.5 mm (.264″) range, for cartridges such as 6.5×55 SE, and is offered in two versions: with a plastic tip or tipless.
- Lead-free copper-zinc alloy (tombac, CuZn10) – strong enough to deform without breaking up during penetration
- Turned on a lathe from solid bar stock for tight tolerances in diameter, length and weight
- Grooves on the shank reduce the bearing surface in the barrel, lowering pressure and raising velocity
- With tip: thermo-stable plastic tip; the depth of the hollow cavity under the tip controls the degree of expansion
- Tipless (TPL): same weight, 1.5 mm shorter
- Ideal impact velocity 700-800 m/s; expands down to 600 m/s on smaller game such as roe deer and down to 500 m/s on large game
- Short cone-point shape allows heavier bullets to stabilise in standard twist rates
For proper stabilisation of the tipped 139 gr the maker specifies a 1:8 or faster twist. Official load data is published by Vihtavuori and Reload Swiss. 50 bullets per box.
