Hornady 3131 .303 Caliber 174 Grain Full Metal Jacket Reloading Bullets

Hornady Part Number 3131 Traditional and FMJ bullets are designed for reloaders who want dependable construction and consistent performance. This .303 caliber projectile features a 174-grain full metal jacket profile suitable for a variety of compatible rifle loads. Hornady applies its Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) bullet jacket technology to provide a rugged, carefully formed jacket that helps maintain bullet integrity during handling, loading, and impact.
The AMP jacket is engineered to offer a stronger alternative to the thin plated full metal jackets commonly used by other manufacturers. Thin plated jackets can be more susceptible to distortion, breakage, or separation when a bullet contacts the target. By using a robust jacket design, these Hornady reloading bullets are built to support reliable feeding, consistent flight characteristics, and dependable terminal performance when properly matched with the firearm, cartridge, and load data.
Each bullet has a listed ballistic coefficient of .470 and a sectional density of .255, providing useful performance characteristics for load development and range applications. The 174-grain weight is a traditional choice for .303-caliber rifle cartridges, while the full metal jacket design supports clean, consistent projectile configuration for appropriate target and practice loads. Always consult current, verified reloading manuals and follow recommended procedures when selecting components, primers, powders, and seating depths. Hornady 3131 bullets are intended for experienced reloaders who require carefully manufactured components from a trusted ammunition and reloading brand.
