What barrel twist rate is required to properly stabilise the Hornady 105 grain Aeromatch bullets?

Hornady specifies a minimum twist rate of 1:8" or faster for the 105 grain Aeromatch projectiles. Barrels featuring slower twist rates, such as 1:9.125" or 1:10" common in older factory hunting rifles, will fail to properly stabilise this heavy match bullet.

Can I use the Hornady 105 grain Aeromatch bullets for medium-to-large game hunting in Australia?

No, these bullets are designed exclusively for match target shooting in disciplines like PRS, NRL, and F-Class. Because they lack controlled expansion mechanisms, they are not recommended for hunting medium-to-large game where dedicated expanding projectiles are required.

Do I need a firearms licence to purchase these reloading bullets from XHunter in Australia?

Yes, while inert rifle bullets do not require dangerous goods shipping like propellants or primers, reloading supplies are regulated under state and territory firearms legislation. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be required to provide a valid firearms licence appropriate for the calibre class before we can dispatch your order.

How many projectiles are included in this box and how are they batched?

This box contains 500 projectiles packaged directly from small sequential production lots of 3,000 rounds. This lot-to-lot consistency ensures optimal uniformity in weight and ogive profile for precision handloaders.

6mm Match Bullets - Hornady 245731

The Hornady 6mm .243 105 gr AEROMATCH® Sequential Bullets are high-consistency match reloading projectiles engineered for competitive precision rifle shooters. Built with a hollow point boat tail (HPBT) configuration and a compound hybrid ogive profile, these 105-grain bullets deliver flat trajectories and aerodynamic stability for intermediate and long-range target engagements from 300 to beyond 1,000 yards. They are packaged in 500-count boxes sourced from tight sequential production runs to minimise lot-to-lot dimensional variation across match rifle reloading batches.

Key Features

Compound Hybrid Profile: Combines tangent and secant ogive geometry to match popular 105 gr match bullet trajectories, allowing shooters to maintain established ballistic profiles and seating depths.
High Ballistic Efficiency: Yields a 0.536 G1 ballistic coefficient for reduced wind drift during extended-range target shooting.
Consistent Lot Packaging: Packaged in quantities of 500 projectiles taken from sequential production lots of 3,000 rounds to promote uniform bullet-to-bullet dimensions and weights.
Target Cartridge Compatibility: Designed for modern competitive 6mm platforms including 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm GT, 6mm Dasher, 6mm BR, 6mm ARC, and 6mm XC.

Who is the Hornady 6mm 105 Grain AEROMATCH Bullet for?

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and National Rifle League (NRL) competitors — requires high-volume uniformity across match stages, served by the 500-count bulk packaging and a 0.536 G1 ballistic coefficient that minimises wind deflection when engaging targets beyond 850 yards.
F-Class and benchrest target shooters — relies on tight ballistic consistency for long-range target disciplines, served by the 105-grain hybrid profile that stabilises in precision rifle barrels with a minimum 1:8" twist rate.

Less suitable for: Rifles with barrel twist rates slower than 1:8" (such as standard 1:9.125" or 1:10" factory .243 Winchester hunting barrels) which cannot properly stabilise this 105-grain bullet, or medium-to-large game hunters requiring controlled expansion mechanisms, who are better served by dedicated expanding hunting projectiles.
