HRNDY BLK 338ARC 175GR HPMTCH 20/200

Description

Hornady BLACK is built around a straightforward premise: take a proven bullet and load it to perform reliably across the widest possible range of AR-platform configurations. That means a shooter running a carbine-length gun with a suppressor gets the same feeding and function as one running a standard mid-length rifle — the charge and bullet are selected together so that cycling stays consistent regardless of how the gas system is set up or whether a suppressor is adding back-pressure to the equation.

The 175-grain HP Match bullet is the load’s core choice. At that weight in .338 ARC, you get a projectile that retains enough sectional density to carry velocity and energy downrange meaningfully beyond what lighter, smaller-bore AR cartridges can manage, without requiring a magnum-length action or a dedicated bolt-gun platform. The hollow-point match construction prioritizes a consistent, concentric profile for repeatable accuracy rather than terminal expansion as a primary goal — this is ammunition aimed at precision shooting and barrier-relevant performance, not hunting expansion.

Muzzle velocity comes in at 2,075 fps, producing 1,673 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle — figures that reflect what the .338 ARC was designed to accomplish in a standard AR-10-pattern host. Brass cases make reloading straightforward for those who want to recover and process fired brass. Each box contains 20 rounds.
