Design and Construction
The Hornady Traditional Rifle Bullets are built with a rugged AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jacket, which is designed to deliver better performance. The thin-plated full metal jacket offered by other manufacturers is easily distorted and often breaks or separates when the bullet impacts the target. In contrast, the Hornady AMP bullet jacket features virtually zero tolerance for concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation, making it more reliable and effective.
Pros:
