This round offers a 105 grain hollow point boat tail projectile. In it we see Hornady’s trademark love for concentric jackets, as well as their knack for perfectly angling a low drag boat tail. This round’s 2,750 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24” barrel grants its HPBT bullet a 0.272 G7 ballistic coefficient – enough to keep the bullet flying at 1,341 fps all the way out to the 6mm ARC’s effective range of 1,000 yards!
This is a hollow point bullet, but the core beneath the opening in its tip does not itself possess a nose cavity. The dedicated target shooting bullet instead features a remarkably uniform core, perfectly contoured to the insides of its jacket to promote heightened stability in flight.
You can bet that Hornady got the dimensions correct on a brass case of their own design. This round’s primer and propellant create optimal pressure to cycle any semi-auto system correctly, and they are both formulated to reduce fouling in the process.
