Hornady ELD Match Projectiles .224 80gr 100 Count

When pushing the absolute limits of the .22 calibre platform at extended ranges, standard projectiles simply cannot compete with the aerodynamic efficiency of the Hornady ELD® Match (Extremely Low Drag Match). Weighing in at a heavy 80gr, these .224 diameter projectiles are engineered for uncompromising precision, making them a top-tier choice for PRS (Precision Rifle Series) competitors, F-Class shooters, and long-range varmint hunters.

The technological cornerstone of the ELD Match bullet is the patented Heat Shield® tip. Doppler radar testing revealed that traditional polymer tips can melt and deform due to aerodynamic heating during high-velocity flight, which severely degrades the ballistic coefficient (BC) and causes downrange inaccuracy. The Heat Shield tip defies these effects, retaining its perfect shape to ensure your BC remains uniform from the muzzle to the target.

Combined with Hornady's incredibly concentric AMP® bullet jackets and an optimized boattail design, the 80gr ELD Match delivers flat trajectories, exceptional wind defiance, and match-winning consistency. Due to their heavy weight and long profile, these projectiles require a fast barrel twist rate of 1:7" or 1:8" to stabilise properly in flight.

• Heat Shield® Tip: Formulated from a heat-resistant polymer, the tip defies aerodynamic heating and retains its perfect meplat shape. This ensures the bullet maintains its highest-in-class Ballistic Coefficient over its entire flight path.
• AMP® Bullet Jackets: Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jackets offer near-zero variation in wall thickness. This extreme concentricity prevents the bullet from wobbling in flight, resulting in unprecedented accuracy and tight groupings.
• Secant Ogive & Boattail: The sleek secant ogive profile, combined with the Heat Shield tip and a highly optimized boattail, creates a highly aerodynamic shape that minimises drag and maximises retained velocity.
• Heavy-for-Calibre Wind Defiance: The 80gr mass provides exceptional resistance to wind drift compared to standard 55gr or 62gr .223 loads, allowing for predictable impacts at 600 meters and beyond.

These Hornady ELD Match projectiles are engineered for serious shooters who demand the utmost in accuracy and consistency for competitive shooting and long-range varmint hunting. Invest in precision and elevate your performance on the range or in the field.
