Hornady Match 22 Cal .224 52gr Boat Tail Hollow Point

Hornady Match Bullets: Precision Reloading Excellence

Hornady Match bullets represent the pinnacle of precision ammunition component manufacturing. Designed for competitive shooters and handloaders who demand the highest levels of accuracy and consistency, these .224-diameter, 52-grain projectiles deliver performance that separates winners from the rest of the field.

Advanced Manufacturing Process

The foundation of Match bullet excellence lies in Hornady's proprietary Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP). This revolutionary approach to bullet jacket production combines cutting-edge design, precision tooling, and meticulous manufacturing to achieve:

• Exceptional Concentricity: Virtually zero tolerance for jacket runout, ensuring each bullet flies true
• Uniform Wall Thickness: Near-zero variation in jacket wall thickness for consistent performance
• Precision Swaged Cores: Lead cores manufactured to the tightest specifications in the industry

Ballistic Performance

The boat tail hollow point design delivers outstanding aerodynamic efficiency:

• Ballistic Coefficient: .229 for flat trajectories and minimal wind drift
• Secant Ogive Profile: Optimized bearing surface for in-flight stability
• Caliber-Specific Boat Tail: Angle and length engineered specifically for .22 caliber to maximize ballistic coefficient
