Hornady 75gr BTHP Match

Hornady 75-grain Boat Tail Hollow Point Match ammunition represents an excellent middle ground between premium match loads and standard training ammunition. This load uses Hornady's proprietary 75-grain boat tail hollow point bullet featuring a secant ogive design that produces low drag and flatter trajectories. The precision jacket is manufactured using Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP), ensuring consistent wall thickness for optimal accuracy and uniform performance shot after shot.

The 75-grain bullet weight provides a sweet spot in the .223 Remington spectrum, offering better ballistic coefficient than 55 or 62-grain bullets while remaining compatible with more common 1:9" twist barrels (though 1:8" or 1:7" is recommended for optimal performance). The secant ogive design maximizes bearing surface for stability in flight while reducing drag for improved long-range performance. This makes the Hornady 75gr BTHP particularly well-suited for competitive shooting at distances from 200 to 600 yards.

Loaded to .223 Remington specifications, this ammunition produces a muzzle velocity of 2,790 fps and muzzle energy of 1,296 ft-lbs from a 20-inch barrel. The ballistic coefficient of 0.395 provides excellent downrange energy retention and wind-bucking capability. Hornady's quality control ensures consistent velocities and reliable accuracy, making this an economical choice for competitive shooters who want match-grade performance without premium pricing. The brass cases are reloadable, adding further value for shooters who handload their own ammunition.
