The New Hornady A-tip match bullet

[Terje338]

Aluminium tipped bullet is not new for Hornady, the 750grains 50cal A-max bullet have been out for many years. I guess some of you guys have tested that on game?
The new A-tip looks quite similar to that bullet.

I have some 6.5 , 119 gr. Match solid Cooper titanium flash tip I was wondering what would do on antelope and deer.

I want to see those results if you ever try.

There's nothing innovative here other than the marketing... ALCO has made these for better part of a decade along with Henson and Corbin also coming to mind...

Speaking to ALCO, at least they didn't leave a blunt tip on their aluminum, and they also rebated the boattail, to further maximize ballistic potential; I mean, .707 G1 for a 175gr .308? At $46 per 50... Sorry Hornady that you're tardy to the party, but glad you figured out plastic melts.

I love the negative comments given here. PLEASE, dont buy them, stick with your Speer Hot Cores and Midway Blems.

Anyone got any A-tips on back-order at Midway?

I know right? It's just hornady haters that cant stand to see them making strides in the direction that no other MAJOR manufacturer has done before.

Maybe these other companies outta hire some good "marketing" staff so they can catch up in sales. Everybody that shoots has heard of Hornady. Can't say that about other companies even though they may make kick *** bullets if thier exposure is limited then it doesn't do much good

I wonder if these would be good for hunting?

Post #7 haha

Dropped a deer at 120 yards and a hog at 150 with a .264 Alco.

I'm hoping my 8 twist will spin the 153. I think it probably will since it will stabilize the 150 smk

I'm spinning two different 160gr bullets. You'll be fine.

Look at my reloading components......I have a box of every bullet ever made, well maybe not EVERY one. I'm an "all day sucker" for new stuff.

and why dont bullet companies sell 15 packs !!!???

This forum acting like .75 cents a bullet is unheard of and blasphemy is hilarious.

Also it seems like pretty much every other week midway has 10% off Hornady stuff so knock another 7 cents off and your at $0.68 per bullet

If I get into matches I'll shoot them. I'll just stick with the eld for plinking
