For those who appreciate the nuances of precision shooting, Hornady offers its ELD (Extremely Low Drag) Match bullets. These projectiles represent the pinnacle of ballistic engineering, specifically designed to achieve unparalleled accuracy and consistency.
The cornerstone of this design is the innovative Heat Shield tip. This feature defies aerodynamic heating, ensuring that each bullet retains a perfect meplat—the critical point at the tip—regardless of firing conditions. This ensures that every shot delivers consistent results, maintaining an exceptional level of uniformity from one bullet to another and across different production lots.
The .224 caliber 73-grain ELD Match bullet boasts a remarkable ballistic coefficient (BC) of .398. Such high BCs are achieved through Hornady's meticulous design process which includes a streamlined secant ogive profile coupled with an optimal boattail configuration. The highly concentric AMP bullet jackets further enhance stability during flight.
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing using Doppler radar technology to verify these BCs under standard atmospheric conditions—a testament to Hornady’s commitment to precision and quality control.
Available in boxes containing 100 rounds, these component bullets offer shooters not only superior performance but also peace of mind knowing their ammunition meets professional standards for competitive shooting or recreational target practice alike.
