Hornady Bullets: 416 Cal .416 500 Gr A-Tip Match (41697) - Excellence in Long-Range Precision Shooting

Introduction to Hornady's 416 Caliber A-Tip Match Bullets

Hornady continues to redefine the frontier of precision ammunition with its 416 Cal .416 500 Gr A-Tip Match bullets. The result of extensive research and testing by the Hornady® Ballistic Development Group, these bullets are crafted using advanced manufacturing processes and strict quality control measures, setting a new benchmark for low-drag, high-performance match ammunition.

Advanced Features and Superior Engineering

1. Precision Tip Design: Each bullet features a precision machined aluminum tip that exceeds the length of traditional polymer tips. This design innovation shifts the center of gravity forward and significantly enhances inflight stability. The aeroballistically advanced tip design not only achieves tighter groupings but also reduces drag variability, making it ideal for extreme long-range (ELR) shooting.

2. Unmatched Performance Attributes: These bullets boast a doppler radar-verified low drag coefficient, which translates into high ballistic coefficients (.976 G1 and .492 G7). This feature makes the bullets exceptionally forgiving of variations in twist rate, seating depth, and muzzle velocity. The refined design of the AMP® (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jacket further ensures industry-leading uniformity and concentricity, providing consistent performance shot after shot.

3. Precision Manufacturing for Consistent Quality: Hornady's commitment to precision is evident in the manufacturing process. Each bullet is sequentially packaged directly off the press, ensuring clone-like consistency for ultimate performance. Minimal handling during manufacturing maintains this high standard of quality, and each box includes a polishing bag for final bullet preparation before loading, avoiding the need for bulk washing after manufacture.

Unique Characteristics for ELR Shooting: Unlike mono-metal, lathe-turned solid copper or copper alloy bullets, Hornady® large caliber A-Tip® Match bullets feature a three-component design (gilding metal jacket, lead core, and aluminum tip) that is carefully designed to maximize performance across supersonic, transonic, and subsonic velocities. These bullets do not require the extremely fast twist rates necessary for longer lathe-turned bullets because the lead core provides sufficient weight for reduced drag without excessive length, ensuring stability and accuracy over long distances.
