b'THE MEPLATDefined as the diameter of the end of the tip of the projectile. CarefulA M M U N I T I O N B Battention is paid to the meplat because its diameter and uniformity contribute to the aerodynamic efficiency of the bullet.THE TIPHornady is recognized as a world leader in bullet tip development. Although small, the tip has a bigger impact on overall performance than perhaps any other portion of the bullet. Innovations such as DVRT (Drag Variability Reduction Technology) have led to breakthroughs in accuracy and aerodynamic efficiency. At extended range, the proper tip can reduce vertical stringing, retain downrange velocity and energy, and initiate expansion.THE JACKETUsing advanced manufacturing processes and decades of bullet engineering experience, we precisely control jacket thickness for optimumU UL Lcontrolled expansion. Our AMP bullet jackets*L Lhave virtually zero runout and near zero wallE ET Tthickness variation. S SSWAGED LEADTHE COREHornady bullets have three core varieties. First, the traditional swaged lead core provides uniformity and balance for consistent performance and accuracy. Second, theR S E C Y I R U C E S I E O D A O L E N G T A C S R I Snontraditional lead-free core (NTX) offers a phenomenal option when non-lead bullets are required. Lastly, our monolithic one-piece copper alloy bullets wont separate and deliver deeper penetration. MONOLITHICNON-TRADITIONALCOPPER ALLOY LEAD-FREETHE CANNELURE*The cannelure provides a consistent crimp location, and works with the InterLock ring to control expansion. Cannelures are also found in select Hornady bullet lines where semi-automatic or lever gun use is desired.THE INTERLOCK RING*The raised InterLock ring is embedded in the bullets core, ensuring the core and jacket remain locked during expansion to retain mass and increase penetration. This is found in many Hornady hunting bullets, but is not used in match or varmint offerings.THE BASEHornady bullets primarily come in two styles: boattail and flat base. A boattail design is used to lower the drag at extended range, while the traditional flat base design is often used for shooting at moderate range. BOATTAIL FLAT BASE*Not found on all bullets.Shooting application LegendVarmint Medium Game Large Game Dangerous Target/Personal 50 lbs 50 - 300 lbs 300 - 1500 lbs Game Match Defense1-800-338-3220|hornady.com 71'
