Hornady 26382 6Mm .264 153Gr A-Tip Match 500 Per Box/6 Case

The Hornady 26382 6mm .264 153gr A-Tip Match bullets are engineered for precision rifle shooters and reloaders who demand consistency and downrange performance. Built on years of ballistic research and manufacturing refinement, these bullets pair a precision-machined aluminum tip with an optimized profile designed to reduce drag and improve in-flight stability. Available in a 500-round per box format with six boxes per case, they're purpose-built for match shooting, long-range hunting, and precision load development where repeatability matters.

The A-Tip design represents a significant step forward in match bullet construction. Unlike polymer tips, the aluminum tip is longer and precisely machined, which shifts the center of gravity forward and enhances stability throughout the flight path. Hornady's Ballistic Development Group has refined the ogive, bearing surface, and boattail profile specifically for the 6mm caliber, resulting in a bullet that forges tighter groups and exhibits reduced drag variability shot to shot. The aeroballistically advanced geometry has been Doppler radar verified for a high ballistic coefficient, meaning these bullets are forgiving of minor variations in twist rate, seating depth, and muzzle velocity—a real advantage when fine-tuning loads or shooting from different platforms.

Manufacturing excellence shows throughout. Bullets are sequentially packaged immediately off the press with minimal handling, ensuring that each round is as consistent as the last. The refined AMP bullet jacket offers industry-leading uniformity and concentricity, which directly translates to tighter groups and more predictable performance. Important note: these bullets require a new A-Tip seating stem for proper seating. Each box includes a polishing bag to prepare the bullets for loading, since they are not bulk washed after manufacture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need special seating equipment for A-Tip bullets?

Yes. Hornady A-Tip Match bullets require a new A-Tip seating stem for optimal and proper bullet seating. This is not compatible with standard seating dies.

Are these bullets suitable for long-range hunting?

These are match-grade bullets engineered for precision shooting. Their high ballistic coefficient and refined design make them capable performers at distance, though they're specifically optimized for match applications where consistency is paramount.

Do the bullets come ready to load?

Each box includes a polishing bag to prepare the bullets for loading. Bullets are not bulk washed after manufacture, so you'll want to use the included bag to clean them before seating.

What makes A-Tip different from standard polymer-tip match bullets?

The aluminum tip on A-Tip bullets is precision-machined and longer than polymer tips, which moves the center of gravity forward and enhances in-flight stability. This aeroballistic advancement results in tighter groups and reduced drag variability.
