Hornady Match 308 Win 178 Gr HPBT Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady Match 308 Winchester 178 grain HPBT ammo is purpose-built for shooters who demand tight groups and consistent performance at the range or in long-range competition. Every round in this 20-round box is engineered from component selection through final inspection to deliver the kind of precision that separates good shooting from great shooting. If you're running a bolt-action rifle and you want ammunition that performs the same way shot after shot, this is the match-grade ammo you're after.

Hornady's approach to Match ammunition starts with their bullets—specifically engineered for accuracy, each one features their AMP jacket technology that ensures concentricity and consistency that off-the-shelf hunting rounds simply don't offer. The brass is hand-selected for wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, and weight; the powder charge is matched precisely to each load for optimal pressure and velocity; and the whole assembly is held to tolerances that generic ammunition wouldn't attempt. The result is lot-to-lot consistency that serious handloaders and factory-ammo buyers both respect.

The 178-grain boat-tail hollow-point design is a proven performer for target work and precision rifle competition. The boat tail improves aerodynamics downrange, and the hollow point aids in bullet formation during manufacturing to ensure that uniformity Hornady is known for. You're getting 20 rounds of ammunition that respects your rifle and your time at the range—no flyers, no surprises, just the kind of reliability that makes for tight groups and builds confidence in your zero.
