Hornady .223 Remington

This ammunition is custom-grade from the factory loaded to stringent specifications to guarantee proper ignition and provide consistent match-winning pinpoint accuracy shot after shot. Performs as well or better than handloads. This ammunition is new production non-corrosive in boxer primed reloadable brass cases.

Conventional polymer tips in high BC bullets melt in flight. Hornady engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined high BC bullets melt and deform. Although not a significant issue affecting moderate BC conventional tipped varmint and hunting bullets aerodynamic heating causes BC reduction and degradation of accuracy particularly at extended ranges (400 yds +). To counter this effect Hornady identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the patent pending Heat Shield tip. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot. The Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to provide a perfect meplat (tip) that is always the same shape. A streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design plus the highly concentric AMP bullet jackets combined with the patent pending Heat Shield tip creates a supremely accurate high BC match bullet. ELD-Match bullet BCs are measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions.
