Hornady ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) projectiles are technologically advanced, enhanced accuracy target projectiles designed for superior performance in sporting and hunting contexts. Featuring Heat Shield tips with a perfect meplat (tip point), these projectiles deliver the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients, superior accuracy, and extreme consistency from projectile to projectile, and lot to lot.

Superior accuracy and industry-leading ballistic design have been achieved with the ELD Match projectile. An optimum secant ogive and boattail design, along with the Heat Shield tip, produce a projectile with the highest possible ballistic coefficient in its class.

Key Features:

• Best-in-Class BCs: The Heat Shield tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to provide a perfect meplat that is always the same shape.
• Delivers the Highest Degree of Accuracy and Consistency: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP® projectile jackets, and the Heat Shield® tip create a supremely accurate, high BC match projectile.
• Accurate, Doppler Radar Verified BCs: ELD Match projectile BCs are measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions.
• The Perfect Tip: The new Heat Shield tip creates the perfect meplat and outperforms BTHP projectiles.

Heat Shield Technology:

In 2012, Hornady engineers were tasked with creating a new projectile. The main goal was to have a hunting projectile that worked well at all practical distances. Plenty of projectiles work well from 0-400 yards, few work well beyond that, and none work well at both conventional and extended range.

Introducing the Heat Shield tip, one tip, two projectiles! Extend your range and never compromise at any distance. Hornady engineers, using state-of-the-art aeroballistics software, Doppler radar, and decades of projectile performance knowledge, have developed an entirely new class of projectile.
