Overview
Built for precision reloading, this 22 caliber .224, 75 grain BTHP match bullet is intended for shooters focused on consistency and tight performance standards at the range. Hornady pairs its AMP bullet jacket design with a precision swaged lead core and a boat tail profile to support uniform construction and long-range accuracy. It is not loaded ammunition, and Hornady does not recommend match bullets for hunting, so it is best suited to dedicated target and match use rather than field application. Reloaders should consult a manual or powder manufacturer’s load data before use.
