Hornady 303 Cal 174gr FMJ BT

The Hornady 303 Cal 174gr FMJ BT bullet is a precision-engineered full metal jacket projectile built for reloaders who value consistency, accuracy, and rugged reliability. Whether you’re loading for historic military rifles like the Lee-Enfield or for general long-range target shooting, this .303 caliber bullet offers dependable performance and excellent flight characteristics—thanks in large part to Hornady’s advanced AMP^® jacket technology.

Unlike traditional plated bullets that often suffer from weak jackets and inconsistent thickness, the Hornady AMP^® jacket is drawn, not plated. This process results in an exceptionally concentric and uniform jacket wall, eliminating the jacket separation or deformation that plagues many bulk FMJ projectiles. The result is clean perforation, reduced yaw, and tighter groupings at all practical engagement ranges.

The boattail base design enhances aerodynamics and improves downrange stability by reducing drag. This makes it especially well-suited for long-range or vintage match competitions, where consistent ballistic performance is key. Whether you’re pushing .303 British cartridges or working with other 7.7mm/.311 platforms, this bullet delivers solid performance every time you pull the trigger.

Internally, the swaged lead core is perfectly centered to maintain in-flight balance and minimize shot-to-shot deviation. For reloaders seeking quality and precision at a fair price, the Hornady 303 Cal 174gr FMJ BT is also available in bulk bullets packaging—ideal for high-volume training or range days without sacrificing results.

RUGGED AMP^® BULLET JACKET

Hornady Traditional and FMJ bullets are built with a rugged AMP^® bullet jacket (Advanced Manufacturing Process) that delivers better performance.

SUPERIOR DESIGN

The thin-plated full metal jacket offered by other manufacturers is easily distorted and often breaks or separates when the bullet impacts the target.

VIRTUALLY ZERO VARIATION

The Hornady AMP^® bullet jacket features zero tolerance for concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation, punching through targets without deforming or breaking.
