Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match

The Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match is a precision-engineered bullet component designed for handloaders and long-range competitors who demand superior ballistic performance, consistency, and terminal reliability in .284-caliber rifles. Weighing 166 gr with a .284‑inch diameter, the 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match features Hornady’s aluminum Superformance tip and AMP jacket technology, delivering a high ballistic coefficient and unwavering accuracy across diverse shooting conditions.

Incorporating a carefully machined aluminum tip, the 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match shifts the center of gravity rearward to stabilize flight and tighten groups. This tip design also maintains structural integrity at high velocities, allowing the bullet to feed securely and fly precisely at standard loads between 2,900 and 3,100 fps in popular platforms such as 7mm Remington Magnum and .280 Ackley Improved.

The precision AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket on the Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match offers near-perfect concentricity and wall thickness uniformity. Combined with a swaged lead core, this bullet achieves exceptional weight consistency and runout control. Shooters frequently report sub-MOA groupings and reliable performance across long-range matches, as the bullet maintains stable external ballistics even in challenging wind environments.

Engineered with a boat-tail base and optimized secant ogive, the Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match maximizes downrange energy retention and resists aerodynamic drag. When deployed for competitive shooting or precision hunting, this bullet drops minimally and provides consistent impact at various distances. Its matched profile ensures reliable cycling in bolt-action, repeater, and single-shot rifles, supporting tight shot placement under pressure.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match is sold strictly as a reloading component. Handloaders must select compatible brass, powder, and primers to unlock its full potential. With rigorous quality control over tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and core bonding, this bullet component delivers unmatched precision and terminal performance. Whether competing in long-range matches or pursuing elk with a modern precision rifle, the 284 Cal 7mm 166gr A‑Tip Match sets the standard for high-performance match-grade .284-caliber bullet components.
