The Hornady reloading division stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of quality, continuous improvement, and innovation. For those who appreciate the art of handloading ammunition tailored precisely to their shooting needs, Hornady provides tools that make this endeavor both safe and straightforward.
At the heart of every Hornady Match bullet lies a revolutionary advancement in bullet jacket technology—the Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP). Developed by Hornady's skilled engineers, these jackets are not just another component; they represent a significant leap forward in design and manufacturing. The AMP jackets ensure each bullet features unmatched concentricity with virtually zero runout and negligible wall thickness variation. This precision is crucial for achieving exceptional accuracy on target.
The .30 Caliber BTHP Match™ bullets exemplify this dedication to excellence. With a diameter of .308 inches and weighing in at 168 grains, they boast an impressive ballistic coefficient of .450 and sectional density of .253. These specifications work harmoniously with the secant ogive profile—a geometric design optimized for low drag and flatter trajectories—providing stability during flight while maximizing ballistic performance.
Furthermore, each swaged lead core undergoes meticulous crafting to ensure uniformity and balance, vital elements for consistent performance shot after shot. The boattail design is uniquely tailored for each caliber and weight within the Match™ series, further enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
While these bullets set new standards in consistency and accuracy with high ballistic coefficients suitable for competitive shooting disciplines or precise range work—they are not recommended for hunting applications due to their specialized construction focused purely on accuracy rather than terminal ballistics.
In sum, when your objective is pinpoint precision from distance without compromise—whether punching paper targets or ringing steel plates—Hornady Match bullets deliver unparalleled results time after time.
