Hornady 2278 Match 22 Cal .224 68gr HPBT Bullets - 100 Count

The Hornady 2278 Match bullets deliver exceptional accuracy for precision rifle applications, featuring a 68-grain hollow point boat tail design optimized for competitive shooting and long-range accuracy. These .224 caliber projectiles maintain consistent ballistic performance across varying conditions. Match-grade construction ensures minimal weight variation and superior concentricity for tight groupings.

What Makes This Different

Hornady Match bullets undergo rigorous quality control processes that exceed standard hunting bullet tolerances. The hollow point boat tail configuration reduces drag while maintaining stability at extended ranges. Weight sorting keeps bullet variance within +/- 0.3 grains, significantly tighter than conventional projectiles. The boat tail design provides superior ballistic coefficient compared to flat-base alternatives.

Key Features

• 68-grain hollow point boat tail construction for enhanced accuracy
• Match-grade tolerances with minimal weight variation
• .224 diameter compatible with 22 caliber rifle cartridges
• Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient and wind resistance
• Consistent jacket thickness for uniform expansion characteristics
• 100 bullets per box packaging for convenient bulk loading
• Swaged lead core with gilding metal jacket construction

These bullets excel in competitive rifle matches where precision matters most. The 68-grain weight provides optimal stability in standard 1:9 and faster twist rates commonly found in AR-15 platforms and bolt-action precision rifles. Match shooters rely on the consistent ballistic performance for predictable trajectory calculations. The hollow point design offers controlled expansion for varmint hunting applications while maintaining accuracy standards.
