Description
Hornady Frontier ammunition represents a partnership of sorts. On the bullet side of things you’ve got Hornady themself, one of America’s top tier bullet manufacturers. And on the loading side of things you’ve got the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, which produces approximately 1.5 billion rounds of ammo annually – mostly for Uncle Sam.
rThis 223 Rem cartridge’s 55 grain bullet is a hollow point, and although it can be trusted for varmint hunting and self-defense it is optimized to deliver accuracy, not terminal expansion. Its lead core is swaged for improved uniformity and balance. Its Advanced Manufacturing Process is nearly perfectly concentric, which contributes even more to the bullet’s heightened in-flight stability.
rWhen fired from a 24†barrel Hornady’s HP Match bullet attains a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.254; that’s high enough to keep it flying nearly 1,600 fps at 500 yards. Long-distance shooters, put these rounds’ match bullets to the test!
rThis ammo has Lake City’s characteristic brass cases, which aren’t polished up after they’ve been annealed for greater strength. This new production ammo’s nonmagnetic bullets and non-corrosive primers offer the option to shoot at indoor ranges and then spare you the trouble of rust if you don’t brush out the bore right away.
