Hornady Match Bullets .30 Cal .308" 168 Gr Bthp 250/Ct
The Hornady Match .308 168 grain boat-tail hollow-point rifle bullet is built for precision reloaders who demand consistency from their ammunition. Whether you're loading for long-range competition, tactical rifle work, or serious hunting, these .30 caliber projectiles give you the uniformity required to group tight and shoot far. You get 250 bullets per box, enough for a solid reloading session without constant resupply trips.
What sets Hornady Match bullets apart is their Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jacket technology. These jackets are engineered to maintain virtually zero tolerance for concentricity—meaning they fly straight without the wobble that throws off your groups. Paired with precision swaged lead cores, every bullet in the box performs like the last one, which is exactly what serious handloaders need to dial in velocity nodes and build ammo that shoots to point-of-aim consistently.
The secant ogive profile and boat-tail design work together to lower drag and stretch your effective range. The boat-tail geometry is optimized specifically for this caliber and weight to maximize ballistic coefficient, giving you a flatter trajectory and better energy downrange. If you're chasing sub-MOA accuracy at distance or competing in precision rifle matches, the aerodynamic design means less drift and more predictable wind deflection.
Hornady manufactures these to some of the tightest tolerances in the industry—near-zero wall thickness variation and swaged cores that deliver shot-to-shot balance. Reloaders respect the Hornady Match line because the numbers don't lie: consistent muzzle velocity, minimal velocity spread, and the kind of repeatability that lets you trust your load development.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles can I reload these bullets for?
These .308" diameter, 168 grain bullets are designed for .30 caliber rifle cartridges like .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and other .30 cal rounds. Always verify your specific cartridge's SAAMI specifications and consult reloading manuals before assembly.
Are Hornady Match bullets good for long-range hunting and competition?
Yes. The secant ogive profile, boat-tail design, and high ballistic coefficient make these bullets well-suited for extended-range applications. The precision manufacturing and concentricity control help achieve the accuracy needed for both competitive shooting and long-distance hunting.
How many rounds does one box give me?
Each box contains 250 bullets, giving you enough projectiles for 250 loaded rounds (assuming you have the other components—powder, primers, and cases).
What makes the AMP jacket different from standard bullet jackets?
AMP jackets are engineered for virtually zero tolerance on concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation. This precision manufacturing means the bullet flies more uniformly without the yaw or wobble that can degrade accuracy, resulting in tighter groups and more consistent ballistic performance.
