Hornady A-Tip Match 416 Cal .416 500 gr A-Tip Match 100

The Hornady A-Tip Match 416 Cal .416 500 gr bullet is a precision rifle projectile engineered for shooters who demand match-grade consistency and long-range performance. Built on years of development by Hornady's Ballistic Development Group, this 500-grain match bullet combines advanced aerodynamics with exacting manufacturing tolerances—ideal for competitive shooters, long-range hunters, and reloaders pursuing sub-MOA accuracy from their .416-caliber rifles.

The A-Tip design sets these bullets apart. A precision-machined aluminum tip extends farther than conventional polymer tips, shifting the center of gravity forward to improve in-flight stability and reduce drag variability. The result is a bullet that groups tighter, shoots flatter, and maintains velocity more consistently downrange. Hornady's refined ogive, optimized bearing surface, and boattail profile—all engineered specifically for .416 caliber—work together to deliver a high ballistic coefficient verified by Doppler radar.

Manufacturing quality matters in match ammunition. Each bullet is produced with minimal handling and sequentially packaged to ensure bullet-to-bullet uniformity. The AMP jacket delivers industry-leading concentricity and consistency from the press. Bullets are shipped in a polishing bag; use it to prep them before loading. Note that loading these bullets requires the Hornady A-Tip seating stem for optimal seating depth and performance.

Whether you're preparing ammunition for precision rifle competitions, long-range validation testing, or extreme-distance hunting, the A-Tip Match 500 gr demands the same attention to detail you bring to your reloading bench—and rewards it with consistent, low-drag performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What seating tool do I need for A-Tip Match bullets?

These bullets require the Hornady A-Tip seating stem for proper seating depth and performance. Standard seating stems are not compatible.

Are these bullets pre-polished or cleaned?

No. The bullets ship in a polishing bag; you should use it to polish them before loading to prepare them for optimal performance.

What caliber rifles are these bullets for?

These are .416 caliber bullets, 500 grains, designed for .416-caliber rifles.

What's the ballistic coefficient of the A-Tip Match 500 gr?

The exact ballistic coefficient is not specified in the available data, but Hornady has Doppler radar verified the low-drag performance of these bullets. Contact Hornady directly or consult their ballistics tables for the precise BC value.
