The Hornady A-TIP Match 25 caliber .257 138-grain bullets deliver exceptional precision for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts. These match-grade projectiles feature Hornady's advanced manufacturing processes to achieve consistent ballistic performance shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
The A-TIP (Aluminum Tip) design incorporates a precision-machined aluminum tip that provides superior aerodynamic efficiency compared to traditional polymer tips. This construction maintains tip integrity at high velocities while delivering enhanced ballistic coefficients. The Heat Shield tip technology prevents deformation during flight, ensuring consistent expansion and accuracy at extended ranges.
Key Features
- 138-grain match-grade bullets optimized for .25 caliber cartridges
- Aluminum tip construction with Heat Shield technology for superior aerodynamics
- Swaged lead core with AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket technology
- Boat tail design reduces drag and improves long-range stability
- Consistent weight tolerance within ±0.3 grains for precision loading
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
- Compatible with popular .25 caliber cartridges including .257 Roberts and .25-06 Remington
These bullets excel in competitive shooting environments where precision matters most. The 138-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for maintaining velocity downrange while the boat tail configuration minimizes wind drift. Match shooters report improved group consistency at 600+ yards compared to conventional match bullets. The uniform jacket thickness and concentricity specifications meet the demanding requirements of F-Class and benchrest competition.
