The Hornady A-Tip Match 6.5 Creedmoor 153 grain bullet delivers exceptional ballistic consistency for competitive precision shooting. Advanced manufacturing processes create a projectile that maintains tight tolerances across the entire production run. Precision shooters rely on this bullet's predictable flight characteristics at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The A-Tip Match features an aluminum tip that resists deformation during feeding and flight, unlike polymer tips that can vary in density. Heat Shield technology protects the tip during high-velocity impacts. The boat-tail design reduces drag coefficient to 0.295, significantly improving downrange performance compared to flat-base bullets. Consistent jacket thickness maintains uniform expansion characteristics.
Key Features
- 153 grain weight optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics and twist rates
- Aluminum tip construction maintains consistent ballistic coefficient
- Heat Shield tip technology prevents aerodynamic degradation
- AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
- Boat-tail design with optimized angle for reduced drag
- Secant ogive profile maximizes ballistic efficiency
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
Competitive shooters report consistent performance in F-Class and PRS competitions where precise bullet placement determines match outcomes. The 153 grain weight provides optimal sectional density for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, maintaining velocity while delivering superior wind resistance. Match-grade accuracy standards ensure shot-to-shot consistency that precision rifles demand.
