This is a whole new bullet,\u201d Hornady Engineering Technician Nick Earixon told GunsAmerica at this year\u2019s NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>The ATip uses a longer, heavier aluminum tip rather than the standard polymer tip. The length and weight, Hornady says, move the center of gravity and enhances in-flight stability. Aluminum is also more resilient and less brittle than polymer, so it won\u2019t deform in the magazine or during shipping.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_108691\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hornadys-aluminum-tipped\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108691\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4.jpg\" alt=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hornady-Atip-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-108691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hornady had their new bullets front-and-center at this year&#8217;s NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hornady redesigned the bullet as well. Engineers lengthened the boattail and ogive to reduce drag and, according to the company, achieved a \u201cperfect blend of ogive, tip length, bearing surface, and optimized boattail by caliber.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hornady didn\u2019t stop with bullet design: they also developed a new manufacturing process they use only for producing the ATip.<\/p>\n<p>The company packages ATip bullets sequentially to maximize consistency from bullet to bullet. Slight variations become inevitable over the course of manufacturing 10,000 bullets, Earixon said. Bullet #1 will probably be slightly different from bullet #10,000, and customers might get both bullets in a standard package of match-grade rounds.<\/p>\n<p>But virtually no variance exists between bullet #1 and bullet #100 or between #300 and #400. Packaging 100 (or 500 or 1000) sequentially-manufactured bullets ensures that long-distance shooters get the most consistent set of rounds possible.<\/p>\n<p>Will real-world performance live up to PR promises? The proof will be in the pudding, as they say, but the Doppler radar-verified ballistic coefficient numbers are impressive.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hornadys-aluminum-tipped\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-108692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers-1024x541.png\" alt=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers-400x211.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Atip-numbers.png 1328w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>For context, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\/bullets\/rifle\/30-cal-.308-225-gr-eld-match#!\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hornadys-aluminum-tipped\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\">Hornady\u2019s 225g .30-caliber ELD Match bullet<\/a> has a G1 BC of .777, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sierrabullets.com\/product\/6-5-mm-264-caliber-140-gr-hpbt-matchking\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hornadys-aluminum-tipped\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\">Sierra\u2019s 140g 6.5mm MatchKing<\/a> bullet has a G1 BC of .535, and <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.nosler.com\/nosler-bullets\/custom-competition\/custom-competition-6mm-107-grain-hpbt-bullet-100ct.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hornadys-aluminum-tipped\" title=\"Hornady\u2019s New Aluminum-Tipped Bullet Could Change the Long-Range Game Forever - NRA 2019\">Nosler\u2019s 107g 6mm Custom Competition<\/a> bullet has a G1 BC of .525.<\/p>\n<p>Performance comes at a price.
