The Hornady Match BTHP 22 Cal .224 diameter 75 grain (2279) is a match-grade target bullet built for reloaders who want a heavier 22 caliber hollow point boat tail match bullet for precision target shooting and long-range competition that delivers superior jacket concentricity, consistent performance, and a flatter trajectory than lighter 22 caliber options.

Special Features
- AMP bullet jackets are drawn to virtually zero runout and near-zero wall thickness variation, producing the most consistently concentric jacket available and eliminating the inconsistencies that cause stringing and dispersion at long range.
- Precision swaged lead core provides excellent uniformity and balance across every bullet in the box, delivering the lot-to-lot consistency match shooters depend on for repeatable performance from session to session.
- Secant ogive profile produces low drag, a flatter trajectory, and the optimum bearing surface for in-flight stability, maximizing the ballistic coefficient possible for this bullet weight and caliber.
- Boattail angle and length are uniquely optimized for this specific caliber and weight, maximizing ballistic coefficient and sustaining downrange velocity to the distances where 22 caliber match shooters compete.
Practical Benefits
- The 75 grain weight gives you a heavier, higher BC option over standard 55, 62, and 68 grain 22 caliber bullets, making it the better choice for mid and long-range target work where wind drift and velocity retention separate good loads from great ones.
- Compatible with 223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, 22-250 Remington, 22 Creedmoor, 22 Nosler, and other cartridges using a .224 diameter projectile, giving you a versatile match component across multiple 22 caliber platforms.
- For the precision target shooter or high-power competitor, your investment in careful seating depth work and powder selection pays off in the tight, repeatable groups the Hornady Match BTHP (2279) consistently delivers at the range.
The Hornady Match BTHP (2279) 22 Cal .224 diameter 75 grain is a proven platform for the dedicated reloader and precision target shooter who demands match-grade jacket concentricity, optimized boattail geometry, and consistent accuracy from a purpose-built 22 caliber match bullet.
