The Hornady A-MAX 30502 delivers match-grade accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent performance at extended ranges. This 168-grain .308 caliber bullet features Hornady's proven A-MAX design, engineered for superior ballistic coefficients and reliable expansion.
What Makes This Different
The A-MAX bullet combines a sharp polymer tip with a carefully engineered jacket and core for optimal aerodynamics and terminal performance. Unlike standard hunting bullets, the A-MAX maintains velocity better over distance with a ballistic coefficient of .475. The polymer tip initiates expansion while the secant ogive profile reduces drag for flatter trajectories.
Key Features
- 168-grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and initiates controlled expansion
- Secant ogive boat-tail design minimizes drag coefficient
- Match-grade jacket concentricity for consistent accuracy
- Lead core precisely formed for weight consistency within ±0.3 grains
- Cannelure groove provides consistent bullet seating depth
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
These bullets excel in competitive shooting where sub-MOA accuracy matters most. The 168-grain weight stabilizes effectively in standard 1:10 twist barrels common in precision rifles. Match shooters report consistent groups under 0.5 MOA at 100 yards when properly loaded. The design performs reliably in temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F without accuracy degradation.
