Overview
Built for precision reloading, this .30 caliber .308 168 grain BTHP match bullet is intended for shooters who want consistent components for target work and long-range applications. Hornady pairs its AMP bullet jacket design with a precision swaged lead core, along with a secant ogive profile and boat tail to support low drag and uniformity. It is not loaded ammunition, and Hornady does not recommend match bullets for hunting, so it is best suited to carefully developed loads where consistency matters. Reloaders should consult a manual or powder manufacturer’s load data before use.
