Hornady Match .30-Caliber .308-Diameter 168-Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail bullets (brand part no. 30501) are built around Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, a technological step up in design, tooling, and manufacturing that produces some of the most consistently concentric bullet jackets available to reloaders. Paired with precision-swaged cores held to tight tolerances, Hornady Match delivers the consistency and high ballistic coefficients competitive shooters need. The secant ogive geometric profile keeps drag low and trajectory flat, while the boat-tail angle and length are optimized specifically for this caliber and weight to maximize ballistic coefficient. At 168 grains in .308 diameter, this is one of the most established match weights for .30-caliber precision rifles.
