Hornady A-Tip Match Bullets, 6.5 Creedmoor (.264) 153gr

Hornady A-Tip Match Bullets in 6.5 Creedmoor (.264), 153 grains (Hornady part no. 2638) are the product of years of research by the Hornady Ballistic Development Group, aimed squarely at building the lowest-drag, highest-performance match bullet Hornady could engineer. The defining feature is the tip itself: precision-machined aluminum instead of the polymer tip found on most match bullets. Because it’s longer than a polymer tip, it shifts the bullet’s center of gravity rearward, which improves in-flight stability at distance. It’s built for competitive and long-range shooters loading their own match ammunition who want every edge a bullet can offer downrange.

Key Specifications

• 6.5 Creedmoor (.264) is the caliber Hornady machined this A-Tip Match bullet for, matching bore diameter for 6.5 Creedmoor (.264) rifles.
• 153 grains is this bullet’s weight, a factor a handloader balances against powder charge and barrel twist rate.
• 100 per box is how these bullets are packaged, with 10 boxes to a case for handloaders buying in bulk.
• Aluminum tip replaces the polymer tip used on most match bullets, precision machined to Hornady’s tolerances.
• Longer tip profile than a polymer tip shifts the bullet’s center of gravity toward the rear of the bullet.
• Improved in-flight stability is the direct result of that rearward center of gravity shift, especially at extended range.
• Low-drag design is the whole point of the A-Tip program, engineered specifically to reduce drag over conventional match bullets.
• Hornady Ballistic Development Group engineered this bullet using advanced manufacturing and quality-control processes specific to match-grade production.
• Match-grade intent makes this bullet purpose-built for competitive and long-range precision shooters, not general-purpose hunting.
