Product Overview
Precision meets power in Frontier's 68-grain BTHP Match load. This isn't your typical range fodder - it's surgical-grade ammunition that transforms your AR-15 into a precision instrument. The heavyweight 68-grain projectile bucks wind resistance better than standard 55-grain offerings, while its boat tail design cuts through the air like a well-honed blade. At 2960 fps, it's carrying enough steam to deliver consistent hits well past where lesser rounds start to falter.
Match shooters and precision enthusiasts, take note - this round was built for your demanding standards. The hollow point design isn't just for show; it's engineering that translates to hair-splitting accuracy when you're trying to stack rounds into one ragged hole. That extra mass means the bullet stays supersonic longer, helping you connect with targets at distances where standard loads go transonic and lose their way. Put simply, this is the kind of ammunition that makes good shooters look great and great shooters look exceptional.
Step onto any precision rifle range and you'll spot the serious shooters by their ammunition choice. This load shines in bolt guns and gas guns alike, but it really proves its worth during precision rifle series matches or when you're trying to punch paper at 600 yards. Prairie dogs won't stand a chance, and neither will your competitor's score when you're running this through a properly tuned rifle. Just remember - ammunition this precise demands proper fundamentals and a rifle that's up to the task.
- Match-grade boat tail hollow point design significantly reduces group sizes at extended ranges, particularly beneficial for precision rifle competitions
- Heavier 68-grain bullet maintains better stability in crosswinds compared to lighter options, improving hit probability on small targets
- Balanced powder charge delivers optimal accuracy without excessive muzzle blast or barrel wear
- Enhanced downrange energy retention makes this load especially effective for precision varmint hunting applications
- Premium components and match-grade construction result in a higher cost per round than standard practice ammunition
- Specialized bullet design may limit versatility across different shooting applications
- Heavier bullet weight requires updated sight adjustments when switching from standard 62-grain loads
