Long-Range Applications

The 224 52gr BTHP Match suits shooters looking for a precision-oriented .224″ projectile for target shooting, competition and load development. Its 52 grain weight provides a versatile option for a range of precision applications.

Furthermore, the .229 G1 BC provides a useful figure for ballistic calculations. The streamlined profile also supports consistent flight characteristics. As a result, the bullet can provide predictable performance when matched to a suitable rifle and load.

The BTHP Match is a match projectile rather than a dedicated hunting bullet. Therefore, it is best suited to precision applications where accuracy and consistent external ballistics are the main priorities.

The .224″ specification refers to bullet diameter, not to a specific cartridge. For this reason, reloaders should confirm cartridge compatibility, seating depth, magazine length and current manufacturer load data for their individual rifle.

Hornady 52gr BTHP Match for Precision Shooting

The Hornady 224 52gr BTHP Match is suited to shooters who value accuracy and predictable ballistic performance. In particular, its boat-tail profile supports efficient flight and consistent external ballistics.

The published G1 BC of .229 provides a useful figure for ballistic calculations. In addition, the .148 sectional density reflects the relationship between the 52 grain bullet weight and its .224″ diameter.

Furthermore, the hollow-point boat-tail design provides an aerodynamic profile suited to precision shooting. As a result, the bullet offers a practical option for load development and target applications with suitable .224″ rifles.

However, shooters should confirm the appropriate twist rate, seating depth, magazine length and current manufacturer load data for their individual rifle.
