The Hornady A-Tip Match 153-grain bullets deliver exceptional long-range precision for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. These match-grade projectiles feature Hornady's advanced manufacturing techniques to achieve consistent ballistic performance at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The A-Tip Match design incorporates a precision-machined aluminum tip that maintains consistent point geometry, unlike polymer tips that can vary in density and shape. This aluminum construction provides superior ballistic coefficient retention and enhanced accuracy potential. The heat-shield tip technology prevents tip deformation during high-velocity flight, maintaining optimal aerodynamics throughout the bullet's trajectory.
Key Features
- 153-grain match-grade bullet optimized for 6mm/.243 caliber rifles
- Precision-machined aluminum tip for consistent ballistic performance
- AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket technology ensures concentricity
- Sequentially manufactured in small batches for lot-to-lot consistency
- High ballistic coefficient design for reduced wind drift
- 500-bullet bulk packaging for serious competitors and reloaders
- Compatible with standard 6mm/.243 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, and similar cartridges
These bullets excel in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy at 600+ yards separates winners from participants. The consistent manufacturing process produces bullets with minimal weight variation, typically within 0.3 grains. Long-range hunters appreciate the retained velocity and energy transfer capabilities, while F-Class competitors rely on the predictable flight characteristics for scoring potential.
