What barrel twist rate is required to properly stabilise the Hornady 110 Grain A-Tip Match bullets?

Hornady specifies a minimum recommended barrel twist rate of 1:7.7" or faster for these 110-grain projectiles. Standard factory .243 Winchester barrels with slower twists like 1:9" or 1:10" will fail to stabilise them, meaning shooters need custom fast-twist barrels to achieve accuracy past 1,000 metres.

Are these A-Tip bullets suitable for medium-to-large game hunting in the Australian bush?

No, these are strictly purpose-built match projectiles featuring an aluminium tip and non-expanding design. They are engineered for precision rifle competitions like PRS and NRL, and Hornady explicitly advises against using them for hunting game due to a lack of controlled terminal expansion.

Do I need any special reloading equipment to seat the aluminium tips without damaging them?

Yes, standard seating stems can mar the precision-machined aluminium tip of these projectiles. Hornady recommends using their custom A-Tip seating stem, specifically SKU 397139, to ensure the bullet is seated properly without deforming the meplat.

How are the 500 bullets in this box packaged to ensure consistency in competitive shooting?

The projectiles come sequentially packaged straight off the production tooling to minimise dimensional and weight variance between consecutive shots. Each 500-pack also includes a protective polishing cloth bag to maintain the projectiles before reloading.

6mm Match Bullets - Hornady 245312

The Hornady .243 6mm 110 Grain A-Tip Match Bullets 500 Pack (MPN: 245312) delivers extreme long-range ballistic performance for precision target competitors and handloaders. Featuring an AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) copper jacket, a lead core, and a precision-machined aluminium tip with Drag Variability Reduction Technology (DVRT), this boat-tail projectile shifts the centre of gravity forward to enhance aerodynamic stability. Every box of 500 projectiles is packaged sequentially off the press into protective packaging with an included polishing cloth, preserving dimensional consistency across consecutive shots.

Key Features

DVRT Aluminium Tip: The precision-machined aluminium meplat resists aerodynamic friction heating and maintains consistent tip geometry across high-velocity strings.
Sequential Press Packaging: Projectiles are boxed directly off the production tooling in sequential order to minimise dimensional variance from round to round.
AMP Copper Jacket: Built with an Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket to provide virtually zero runout and uniform concentricity around the lead core.
Doppler Radar Verified Aerodynamics: Boat-tail design delivers an independently verified G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.604 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.304.
Die Seating Compatibility: Engineered for use with a dedicated A-Tip seating stem (Hornady SKU: 397139) to protect the aluminium tip from deformation during handloading.

Who is the Hornady 6mm 110 Grain A-Tip Match Bullets 500 Pack for?

Precision rifle competition shooters (PRS / NRL) — who require low vertical stringing and wind deflection in fast-twist 6mm rifles, provided by this match reloading bullet's Doppler-verified G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.304 and uniform meplat geometry.
Extreme long-range benchrest target shooters — who target targets past 1,000 metres and require a heavy-for-calibre 110-grain projectile operating from a fast barrel twist rate of 1:7.7" or faster to maintain gyroscopic stability.

Less suitable for: Standard factory .243 Winchester rifles featuring barrel twist rates slower than 1:7.7" (such as 1:9" or 1:10"), which will fail to stabilise a 110-grain bullet; shooters with standard factory twists require lighter 80 to 100-grain projectiles. It is also unsuitable for medium-to-large game hunting due to a lack of controlled terminal expansion; game hunters should use purpose-built expanding hunting projectiles.
