Hornady 227711 22Cal .224 69Gr Hollow Point Boat Tail 500 Per Box/6 Case

Building competitive rifle loads demands consistency from every component—and that starts with your bullets. The Hornady 227711 .224 69-grain hollow point boat tail is a match-grade rifle bullet engineered for precision shooting, whether you're developing loads for F-Class competition, long-range hunting, or the bench. These bullets come packaged in 500-count boxes, with the option to buy in bulk cases containing six boxes (3,000 rounds per case) for high-volume reloaders who refuse to compromise on batch traceability.

What sets these bullets apart is their familiar profile. Hornady sourced proven match bullet geometries and weights used across the industry, then refined them to their own exacting standards. That means you're not reinventing the wheel—your existing load data, seating dies, and ballistic calculators translate directly, cutting development time and keeping you in the field or on the line faster. Small-batch production packaging ensures each 500-count box maintains the concentricity and uniformity that precision shooting demands.

For the serious reloader, consistency matters as much as price. These 69-grain boat tails deliver the aerodynamic profile competitive shooters rely on, without the premium sticker shock of boutique bullet makers. Buy a single box to test your loads, or stock a full case and lock in batch-matched ammunition for an entire season. Either way, you're getting bullets built to the same quality control standards that keep Hornady's match ammunition on podiums.
