The Hornady A-Tip Match 7mm .284 166 grain bullets deliver match-grade accuracy for precision rifle competition and long-range shooting applications. These aluminum-tipped projectiles feature Hornady's advanced design principles to maximize ballistic coefficient and maintain consistent performance at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The A-Tip Match design incorporates a precision-machined aluminum tip that's perfectly uniform and remains intact during flight, unlike polymer tips that can deform or melt. This aluminum construction provides a higher ballistic coefficient compared to traditional match bullets, resulting in flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift. The Heat Shield tip technology maintains tip integrity even under extreme velocity conditions, ensuring consistent expansion characteristics downrange.
Key Features
- 166 grain match-grade bullet optimized for 7mm (.284) caliber rifles
- Aluminum Heat Shield tip maintains ballistic coefficient throughout flight
- Doppler radar verified ballistic coefficient for predictable trajectory
- AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
- Secant ogive profile reduces drag and wind deflection
- Boat tail design enhances stability and accuracy
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
These bullets excel in competitive precision rifle matches where consistent accuracy at 600-1000+ yards determines placement. The 166 grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity retention and wind resistance for 7mm cartridges like 7mm Remington Magnum, 280 Ackley Improved, and 7mm PRC. The advanced tip design maintains ballistic performance in temperature extremes and high-velocity applications where traditional polymer tips may fail.
