Grand Island, NE — Hornady® congratulates team members Mark Cooper and Robert Brantley on their performance at the Federal Gold Medal PRS Match, September 11 in Carbon Hill, Alabama.

Cooper won the Tactical Division using Hornady 30 cal. 176 gr. A-TIP® Match bullets in his .308 Win. GA Precision rifle. “Without my rifle and Hornady A-TIP bullets, I could not have performed well enough to finish on the top of the podium” said Cooper.

Teammate Robert Brantley placed fourth overall using Hornady 6mm 110 gr. A-TIP® bullets in his 6GT paired with the Hornady 4DOF ballistics calculator. “With the consistency, performance and forgiveness of the A-TIP bullets, I have time to focus on myself as a shooter and the stages ahead” said Brantley.

A-TIP® Match bullets feature an aluminum tip that's precision machined and longer than polymer tips. That moves the center of gravity and enhances inflight stability, resulting in tighter groups and reduced drag variability. In addition, A-TIP® bullets are sequentially packaged for the ultimate in consistent performance.
