Grand Island, NE — Hornady® congratulates sponsored shooter, Clay Blackketter for his performance at the 2023 Armageddon Gear Cup, on December 1-3, 2023, in Clinton, South Carolina.

Blackketter was the two-day AG Cup eliminator match champion and took second place overall shooting Hornady 6.5mm 153 gr. A-Tip® Match bullets in his 6.5 Creedmoor. “Hornady A-Tip Match bullets are the most accurate bullets a shooter can use,” said Blackketter. “Combine the Hornady Ballistics app with 4DOF and A-Tip bullets and you have one heck of a winning combination,” he added.

Years of research and testing by the Hornady® Ballistic Development Group, combined with advanced manufacturing processes and quality control measures have led to the creation of the ultimate low-drag, high-performance match bullet.

The most striking visual feature of the A-Tip® bullet is its long, uniform, precision-machined aluminum tip. The longer aluminum tips are machined to be caliber-specific and when coupled with highly refined AMP® bullet jackets, aggressive profiles and optimized boattails the result is enhanced drag efficiency across the board.

The materials, design and manufacturing techniques combine for the most consistent and accurate match bullets available. In addition to development projectiles that will shoot well in a variety of chambers, the Ballistic Development Group also designed the A-Tip™ bullets with the right balance between the center of gravity of the projectile versus the center of pressure to minimize in-flight drag variability.
