$156.60
Hornady 22 caliber hollow point boat tail bullets in 77-grain weight are a go-to choice for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. The Aeromatch line pairs proven match bullet profiles with Hornady's quality control—packaged in 500-count boxes with the option to buy a full case of six boxes for consistency-minded reloaders. If you're running match loads or working up precision ammunition, these .224" projectiles maintain the same point of impact and ballistic performance across batches, so you won't need to tweak load data or recalculate ballistic solutions when you swap to a fresh box.
The hollow point boat tail design is engineered for competition-grade accuracy at distance. Small production batch packaging ensures that sequential bullets in a case maintain the tight tolerances competitive shooters demand. This approach cuts down on the batch-to-batch variation that can creep in with larger production runs, helping you dial in loads that stay true shot after shot. Whether you're prepping for a match or building ammunition for long-range precision work, knowing your bullets came from the same controlled production window is a real advantage.
Hornady's Aeromatch line distills industry-standard match profiles into one accessible product line, so if you've used these profiles before, your existing load data and ballistic solver info stay valid. That means less time recalculating and more time at the bench or on the range. The 500-count box format and six-pack case quantities are built for shooters who cycle through ammunition—bulk ordering keeps your supply steady without forcing you to buy more than you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to change my load data if I switch to Hornady 77gr .224" hollow point boat tail bullets?
No. Hornady designed the Aeromatch line to match established industry profiles, so your existing load data and ballistic solver information remain valid when you transition to these bullets.
What's the difference between buying individual boxes versus a full case?
Individual 500-count boxes are available, but ordering a full case gives you six boxes (3,000 bullets total) packaged from the same small production batch. This ensures all 3,000 bullets are sequential and maintain tighter consistency across the entire run—ideal if you're loading larger volumes for competition or precision work.
Are these bullets suitable for competitive shooting?
Yes. The 77-grain hollow point boat tail profile is match-proven, and the small production batch packaging ensures the bullet-to-bullet consistency competitive shooters rely on. The sequential packaging in cases is specifically designed to support high-volume competitive reloaders.
What reloading dies do I need for .224" bullets?
You'll need standard .224" reloading dies. These Hornady bullets are compatible with standard .224" die sets, and no special die settings are required—your existing setup remains unchanged.
