Hornady A-Tip Match 30 Cal .308 250 gr 100 Per Box/ 10 Case Review
As an avid shooter, I’m always on the lookout for high-performance ammunition that delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. Recently, I had the opportunity to test out the Hornady A-Tip Match 30 Cal .308 250 gr 100 Per Box/ 10 Case, and I’m thrilled to share my experience with you.
Unboxing and First Impressions
Upon opening the package, I was impressed by the attention to detail and the overall build quality. The packaging was sturdy, and the bullets were neatly arranged in a box of 100, perfect for loading and storing. The aluminum tip caught my attention, as it’s precision-machined and longer than polymer tips, which enhances in-flight stability. The A-TIP seating stem is required for optimal bullet seating, which I found to be a plus.
Performance and Accuracy
I took the Hornady A-Tip Match out to the range, and the first thing I noticed was the unparalleled accuracy. The bullets grouped tightly and consistently, regardless of the distance. I was able to adjust my sights easily and quickly, thanks to the low drag coefficient (high BC) bullets. The design of the AMP bullet jacket offers industry-leading uniformity and concentricity, which translated to a reduction in group size and penetration.
