The Hornady Bullets 25 Cal .257 – 117gr JSP-BT is a precision rifle projectile engineered for medium-range hunting and match-grade reloading applications. Designed for the .25-caliber rifle platform, these 100-count boxes deliver the ballistic performance and construction quality that serious handloaders and hunters demand. Whether you're zeroing in on varmint work or pursuing medium game at extended ranges, this ammunition component provides the consistent velocity and terminal performance required for clean, ethical field work.
Each bullet weighs 117 grains and features a jacketed soft-point boattail (JSP-BT) construction with a ballistic coefficient of .391 and sectional density of .253—metrics that translate to superior aerodynamic stability and consistent energy retention downrange. The strategically positioned inner grooves weaken the upper section of the jacket, promoting controlled expansion on impact while maintaining structural integrity for reliable penetration. This design philosophy ensures predictable bullet performance across varying distance and velocity conditions, making it ideal for handloaders seeking repeatable accuracy and field-proven terminal characteristics.
These .257-inch diameter projectiles are compatible with all standard .25-caliber rifle cartridges, including the .25-06 Remington, .257 Roberts, and similar platforms. Precision reloaders will appreciate Hornady's manufacturing consistency, which ensures minimal bullet-to-bullet variation in weight and concentricity—critical factors for tight grouping and sub-minute-of-angle accuracy. The 25-box case format (2,500 rounds total) is ideal for serious shooters and competitive reloaders who maintain high round counts and demand reliable component supply for extended field seasons or range development.
