Hornady’s new A-Tip

Do Hornady A-Tip Bullets Change The Long-Range Game?

Boasting a uniform aluminum tip, does the Hornady A-Tip represent the next big advancement in long-range bullets?

BC of 2 of the offerings says YES

Will they work in a Pmag? No idea.

135-grain, 6.5mm bullet (G1 .637 and G7 .321); 153-grain, 6.5mm bullet (G1 .704 and G7 .355)

“The shooting range at Madras, Oregon, was slightly more than 2,000 feet above sea level; the air was certainly on the dry side (making for thicker air); and the temperatures were mild (between the high 60s and mid-70s). However, once I crunched the numbers for the 6.5 Creedmoor with the 135-grain A-Tip, I quickly took note of the fact that the particular rifle I was shooting would have the bullet stay supersonic just over the one-mile mark. The Creedmoor is no speed demon, and that performance is a testament to the A-Tip and the way it maintains energy downrange.”

Would love to try some out in my 308 but sadly no 155's.... just partial to the smaller chunks of lead

Wish they were priced for "the poors." I'll have to keep shooting those ELD-Ms and the stockpile of AMAXs I have...

Oh wow do they shoot as good as they look?

I was fortunate enough to shoot at that same range outside Madras; it's a cool place. The 1K steel was about 2/3 up the hill in the pic, with targets on either side of that road, and the 1 mile gong was accessible from a bluff up above where this picture was taken.
Wish I'd had a chance to try some of those Atips in my Creedmoor at that time; I was just using the A-max, right before they released the ELD-M.
