Whether you're assembling match rounds for precision shooting, hunting loads, or plinking ammunition, these 55-grain projectiles deliver the kind of consistent performance that keeps you coming back to the Hornady brand. The 100-count box gives you a solid foundation to experiment with loads or stock up for a season of shooting.
The spire point design contributes to a flatter trajectory downrange, which translates to less hold-over adjustment and more forgiving aim points at varying distances. Hornady's match-grade jacket construction is built to tight tolerances, promoting repeatable accuracy across your shooting sessions and from one batch of handloads to the next. The soft point construction allows for controlled expansion, making these bullets suitable for hunting applications where you need reliable performance even at moderate velocities.
For handloaders, consistency matters. These bullets are loaded and ready to be seated in your preferred brass, paired with your powder and primer of choice. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a varmint rifle, working up hunting ammunition, or simply extending your shooting budget, the 55-grain SX gives you a proven projectile backed by Hornady's reputation for quality control.
