Grand Island, NE — Hornady® congratulates Clay Blackketter on his performance at the Hornady Precision Rifle Challenge PRS Match, July 8-9, 2022, in Evanston, Wyoming.

Blackketter won the Open Division and took first place overall shooting Hornady 6.5mm 153 gr. A-Tip® Match bullets.

“The Hornady PRC match is one of my favorites every year. You have to earn every single impact. The different wind angles and speeds produced an extremely challenging course of fire.” said Blackketter. “I opted to run 153 gr. A-Tip’s because of their incredibly high BC and consistency. Coupled with 4DOF, it proved to be a winning combination.” he added.

Hornady shooters, Dave Preston placed 4th overall, Austin Orgain placed 5th overall, and Robert Brantley took Top Tactical.

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.
