Whether you’re engaged in high-stakes competition, long-range target shooting, or load development, these bullets provide industry-leading accuracy and reliability.
Key Features
1. Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) Design
The streamlined Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) profile enhances ballistic efficiency, reducing drag and ensuring stable flight. This design minimizes wind drift and maximizes downrange energy retention, making it ideal for long-range precision shooting.
2. Consistent Bullet Weight and Jacket Thickness
Hornady’s strict quality control measures ensure uniform bullet weights and jacket thickness, leading to predictable and repeatable trajectories. Each bullet undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest industry standards.
3. AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) Bullet Jackets
The AMP bullet jacket technology delivers near-zero variation in jacket wall thickness, ensuring concentricity and reducing drag variability. This results in superior in-flight stability and pinpoint accuracy.
4. Swaged Lead Core for Maximum Consistency
Each bullet features a swaged lead core, ensuring a balanced, uniform core distribution for optimal accuracy. This manufacturing precision contributes to repeatable shot placement and minimal variation between rounds.
5. Competitive and Versatile Applications
Perfect for match-grade target shooting, these bullets excel in long-range shooting, precision benchrest, and varmint hunting. With their high ballistic coefficient and aerodynamic profile, they maintain velocity and deliver tight groupings at extended distances.
