Hornady Match Bullets .22 Cal .224 68 Gr Bthp 4500/Ct
$964.33
The Hornady Match .224 68-grain bullet is purpose-built for precision rifle competition and target shooting. These rounds deliver the accuracy and consistency that separates match shooters from the rest, engineered with Hornady's proprietary AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket technology. Whether you're reloading for a .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, or another .224-caliber rifle, each of the 4,500 rounds per box is manufactured to exacting tolerances that serious competitors depend on downrange.
What makes these bullets stand out is the foundation they're built on. The AMP jacket process minimizes runout and wall thickness variation—the kind of micro-level consistency that compounds into measurable accuracy gains over distance. Paired with a swaged lead core and precision secant ogive profile, these bullets fly flatter and more predictably than generic match rounds. The boattail design is optimized specifically for this caliber and weight to maximize ballistic coefficient without compromising stability in flight.
Reloaders who shoot .224 caliber at distance—whether 100 yards at a club match or 600+ yards at a precision rifle event—will appreciate the uniformity that makes load development more straightforward and groups tighter. The hollow-point boat tail design delivers the ballistic profile competition demands. Note that these are purpose-built for target and competition shooting; they are not recommended for hunting applications.
