The Hornady Frontier Military Grade 5.56 NATO 68gr BTHP Match (brand part no. FR310) loads a 68-grain hollow point boat tail match bullet for shooters who want more precision than a standard 55-grain FMJ delivers. Hornady builds Frontier around brass cases with military-grade boxer primers and propellant, pairing duty-grade reliability with the accuracy of a heavier match bullet. It moves easily between target and match shooting on one range trip and varmint work on the next. Among rifle ammunition, it suits the shooter who wants one dependable load that covers both.
