Hornady Match bullets are renowned for their precision and consistency, featuring a boat tail and hollow point design for optimal aerodynamics and stability in flight. These bullets are not lead-free, as they utilize a swaged lead core with an AMP jacket for maximum uniformity. Hornady Match bullets are specifically engineered for competitive shooting and long-range target applications, making them the top choice for accuracy-focused shooters rather than for hunting or varmint control.

The Hornady V-Max bullet is renowned for its polymer tipped, aerodynamic design, ensuring flat trajectories and maximum accuracy. It features a traditional lead core, making it not lead-free. Precisely engineered for explosive expansion, the V-Max round is most suitable for varmint and predator hunting, such as coyotes and prairie dogs. Its rapid fragmentation upon impact guarantees effective results, making it a favorite among precision shooters and hunters targeting small to medium-sized game.

Hornady Varmint bullets are renowned for their precision, rapid expansion, and aerodynamic shape, featuring a polymer tip and boat tail design for flat trajectories and superior accuracy. These bullets are typically lead-core and not lead-free, making them ideal for high-velocity varmint hunting. Best suited for targeting small pests such as prairie dogs, groundhogs, and coyotes, Hornady Varmint bullets ensure swift, effective results with minimal pelt damage.

The Hornady ECX bullet is a lead-free, expanding copper alloy projectile engineered for reliable terminal performance and deep penetration. Its sleek, aerodynamic profile ensures high ballistic efficiency, while the distinctive polymer tip enhances accuracy and initiates controlled expansion on impact. Perfect for hunters seeking a non-toxic solution, the ECX bullet is ideal for medium to large game such as deer, antelope, and African plains game, providing excellent energy transfer and consistent results.

The Hornady A-Max bullet features a sleek, secant ogive profile with a sharp polymer tip, engineered for superior aerodynamics and maximum accuracy. It is not lead-free, as it contains a lead core with a precision AMP copper jacket. Renowned for its exceptional ballistic coefficient, the A-Max is most suitable for long-range target shooting and precision competition, delivering consistent performance for marksmen seeking tight groups and unrivaled consistency on paper targets.

The Hornady CX bullet is a premium, lead-free projectile designed for superior performance in hunting applications. Featuring a sleek, aerodynamic profile with a heat shield tip, the CX ensures flat trajectories and excellent accuracy. Its tough copper alloy construction maximizes weight retention and controlled expansion, making it ideal for ethically harvesting big game, including deer, elk, and antelope. The CX bullet’s environmentally friendly design also meets regulations for lead-free hunting zones.

The Hornady ELD-Match bullet features an extremely low drag, boat-tail design with a Heat Shield tip for maintained aerodynamic efficiency during flight. This bullet is not lead free; it has a traditional lead core encased in a copper jacket for excellent weight retention and accuracy. The ELD-Match is best suited for precision long-range shooting and competition rather than hunting, making it ideal for target shooters seeking unmatched ballistic consistency and performance.

The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet features a sleek, aerodynamic polymer tip and secant ogive design for superior ballistic efficiency. It is not lead-free, utilizing a lead core with a copper alloy jacket. Renowned for controlled expansion and deep penetration, the ELD-X is ideal for long-range hunting of medium to large game such as deer, elk, and antelope, ensuring consistent accuracy and reliable terminal performance.

The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet features a sleek, aerodynamic polymer tip and a boat-tail design for improved accuracy and flat trajectory. This bullet is not lead-free, as it utilizes a lead core with a copper jacket. The SST is engineered for rapid expansion and deep penetration, making it especially suitable for hunting medium to large game such as deer and antelope, where quick, humane kills are desired.
