Blackketter won the Open Division shooting Hornady 25 cal. 138 gr. A-Tip Match bullets. Thielen took the top spot in the Tactical Division shooting Hornady 30 cal. 176 gr. A-Tip Match bullets.
“The great plains offer a fantastic place for a PRS match, with long targets and natural field-style shooting,” said Blackketter. “In the windy conditions of the prairie, the high BC of the A-Tip cut through the wind and helped put me on top,” he added.
A-Tip® Match bullets feature an aluminum tip that’s precision machined and longer than polymer tips, which moves the center of gravity and enhances in-flight stability, resulting in tighter groups and reduced drag variability. In addition, A-Tip bullets are sequentially packaged for the ultimate in consistent performance.
