The Hornady 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match is a precision bullet component designed for elite handloaders and long-range hunters demanding extreme accuracy and consistent terminal performance in .416-caliber platforms. Weighing 500gr with a .416-inch diameter, the 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match features Hornady’s proprietary A-Tip design—an advanced aluminum tip that delivers superior uniformity, reduced drag, and unmatched heat resistance compared to traditional polymer tips.

The aluminum A-Tip construction ensures tip integrity even under intense muzzle velocities and barrel temperatures, minimizing deformation and promoting consistent trajectories. This high-performance match bullet achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient near 0.530, delivering excellent long-range energy retention and minimal wind drift. The 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match is optimized for cartridges such as .416 Remington Magnum, .416 Ruger, and .416 Weatherby Magnum, with typical velocities ranging between 2,400 and 2,600 fps.

With a precision-machined secant ogive and boat-tail base, the Hornady 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match offers enhanced aerodynamic efficiency and stable flight, even beyond 1,000 yards. Its consistent bearing surface and tight concentricity support sub-MOA accuracy in rifles with 1:10 to 1:12 twist rates. Reloaders value the 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match for its ease of seating, low fouling characteristics, and extreme shot-to-shot uniformity.

When used in field conditions, the 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match provides deep penetration and high retained weight, making it suitable for large and dangerous game. The bonded jacket and controlled expansion mechanism maintain structural integrity through heavy bone and dense tissue. Hunters pursuing moose, Cape buffalo, and brown bear have reported consistent and ethical terminal results using this 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match bullet.

Each Hornady 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match bullet is manufactured in Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility and sold as a bullet component only. Reloaders must use compatible brass, powder, and primers. With strict quality control over weight, jacket concentricity, and tip alignment, the Hornady 416 Cal 500gr A-Tip Match stands at the forefront of long-range, large-caliber precision bullet design.
