Hornady 2279 Match Target 22 Cal .224 75gr HPBT Boat-Tail Match Bullets (100 Count)

Hornady Match Target 22 Cal .224 75gr HPBT Boat-Tail Match Bullets are built for serious precision rifle shooters and competitive reloaders who demand consistency and accuracy across every round. These bullets use Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jacket technology to deliver concentricity and uniformity that translates directly to tighter groups at the range. If you're hand-loading ammunition for target shooting, competition, or long-range practice, these match-grade projectiles are engineered to perform.

What sets match bullets apart from standard rifle rounds is relentless attention to manufacturing tolerances. Hornady pairs their precision-swaged cores with AMP jackets—a process that combines advanced tooling and manufacturing techniques to minimize runout and maximize consistency shot to shot. The secant ogive geometry and optimized boat-tail design work together to lower drag, extend your ballistic coefficient, and keep bullets stable in flight. Each component is held to tight standards so you get the same velocity and flight path with every trigger pull.

The .224 diameter and 75-grain weight make these bullets a go-to choice for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO platforms, and they're sold in 100-count boxes—convenient quantities for serious reloading sessions. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a match or building ammunition for distance shooting, consistency at this level doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone measured, controlled, and verified every step of production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles can I use these bullets in?

Hornady Match Target .224 75gr bullets are designed for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO platforms. Confirm your rifle's chambering and barrel twist before loading—heavier match bullets like these perform best in barrels with appropriate twist rates.

Are these bullets ready to shoot, or do I need to reload them?

These are component bullets for hand-loading and reloading only. You'll need to seat them into prepared cartridge cases with your reloading press and dies, then load powder and primers to complete the ammunition.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 100 unprimed, ready-to-seat .224 caliber 75-grain HPBT match bullets.

Why choose match-grade bullets over standard rifle bullets?

Match bullets are manufactured to tighter tolerances for superior concentricity and consistency. This means less variation in velocity and flight from round to round, which translates to smaller groups and more predictable trajectories—critical for competition shooting and precision long-range applications.
