The Hornady 2836 A-Tip Match 7mm .284 166 gr bullet is a precision match round engineered for shooters who demand tight groups and flat trajectories downrange. Built on years of Hornady's ballistic development research, this 166-grain A-Tip Match bullet combines an aluminum tip design with a refined jacket and boattail profile optimized specifically for 7mm cartridges. Whether you're loading for a custom long-range rifle, a precision bolt gun, or a competition setup, this bullet delivers the consistency and aerodynamic performance that separates competitive shooters from the rest.
The A-Tip design—Hornady's precision-machined aluminum tip—is longer than conventional polymer tips, which shifts the center of gravity forward and improves stability in flight. This translates to tighter shot groups and reduced drag variability, especially valuable when twist rates, seating depth, or velocity vary slightly from load to load. Hornady's Ballistic Development Group has verified the low drag coefficient through Doppler radar testing, confirming the high ballistic coefficient that helps this bullet maintain velocity and energy at distance.
Manufacturing consistency is where the 2836 really shines. Bullets are sequentially packaged straight off the press—one clone after another—with minimal handling between manufacture and box. The refined AMP bullet jacket offers industry-leading uniformity and concentricity, critical for the shot-to-shot repeatability competitive reloaders demand. Each box arrives with a polishing bag to prepare bullets before seating; they're not bulk-washed after manufacture, so you control the final finish.
Note: Loading the A-Tip Match design requires the dedicated A-TIP seating stem for optimal bullet seating. If you're working up loads for precision rifle competitions, long-range hunting, or bench rest shooting, this is a bullet built to deliver consistent, low-drag performance shot after shot.
