20rds – 223 Rem Hornady Frontier 68gr. BTHP Match Ammo
Hornady’s Frontier line of ammunition isn’t match grade. It’s still a fine choice for doing some very fancy shooting, though, especially when it features Hornady’s BTHP Match bullet.This 223 Rem round’s 68 grain bullet is a little heavier than the standard M193 load’s 55 grains. That gives it greater momentum downrange, and less susceptibility to wind deflection that can loosen up groupings. Select a barrel with a 1:8 twist for the best results with a 68 grain bullet, but don’t sweat it too much if you’re a little off that mark.The BTHP Match packs a lot of precision enhancing features into so small a package. The Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, when paired with form-fitted solid lead core, exhibits great in-flight rotational stability. The BTHP Match also has a tapered base and ballistically efficient secant ogive profile to keep downrange velocities higher.Frontier ammo has rugged brass cases, non-corrosive Boxer primers, and military-grade propellant. It’s totally reloadable
