Hornady 30 Cal 176gr A-Tip Match

The Hornady 30 Cal 176gr A-Tip Match is a purpose-built projectile engineered for long-range precision shooting, where consistency and ballistic performance are paramount. As part of Hornady’s elite A-Tip Match line, this bullet features a precision-machined aluminum tip, swaged lead core, and uniform AMP jacket designed to minimize drag, reduce in-flight yaw, and deliver unmatched trajectory stability over extreme distances. With a bullet diameter of .308″, it is optimized for advanced handloaders working with high-performance .30 caliber cartridges.

Weighing 176gr, the 30 Cal A-Tip Match strikes a careful balance between high ballistic coefficient and optimal twist rate compatibility. It features a secant ogive profile, long boat tail, and consistent center of gravity placement—all of which contribute to minimal dispersion and excellent transonic stability. This bullet is ideally suited for cartridges such as 308 Win, 300 PRC, 300 Win Mag, and 300 Norma Mag, and is most effective when paired with fast-twist barrels designed for long-range accuracy.

Hornady’s A-Tip bullets are sequentially packaged straight from the press to preserve jacket and tip integrity. Each bullet is protected from tip deformation, ensuring optimal drag performance remains consistent across the lot. The aluminum tip is precision-machined to prevent melting or distortion at extreme velocities, giving shooters the confidence to push distance boundaries with predictable results.

With its high BC and match-grade construction, the 176gr A-Tip is designed for applications including F-Class competition, ELR shooting, and long-range target work. It pairs well with high-BC load development tools and Doppler radar-verified ballistic solvers. As with all A-Tip projectiles, optimal performance is achieved through careful seating depth control and minimal bullet runout, making it a preferred choice among advanced handloaders and competitive marksmen.

Hornady 30 Cal 176gr A-Tip Match bullets offer the pinnacle of precision in .30 caliber projectile design. Whether you’re chasing sub-half-MOA groups at 1,000 yards or refining your ELR load for steel at a mile, this bullet delivers the aerodynamic efficiency and consistency needed to perform at the highest level.
