Overview
Built for precision shooting where consistency matters, this match bullet is intended for long-range use and other applications that demand a streamlined, high-BC profile. Hornady’s Heat Shield tip is designed to maintain a uniform meplat, while the secant ogive, boattail design, and AMP jacket construction are presented as part of a bullet built for accuracy-focused performance. The bullet’s BC values are measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions, and Hornady notes a minimum twist rate of 1-8". For hunters and shooters who prioritize tight shot placement over general-purpose versatility, it is a specialized option rather than a broad all-around choice.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a minimum twist rate of 1:8", so it may not be suitable for barrels with slower twist rates.
- This is a match bullet, so it is oriented toward precision use rather than general-purpose hunting applications.
- The product description emphasizes performance at extended ranges; those benefits are less relevant for closer-range shooting.
- Pack count is 100 bullets, which is useful for volume loading but may be more than needed for occasional use.
