Overview

The Hornady Match .223 Rem 73gr ELD Match ammunition sets the gold standard for competition accuracy, engineered for shooters who demand the highest levels of precision and consistency for competitive shooting and long-range accuracy. This high-performance .223 match ammo features Hornady's technologically advanced ELD® Match bullet with the patented Heat Shield® tip.

Unlike traditional polymer tips that can melt and deform due to aerodynamic heating during high-velocity flight, the Heat Shield® tip retains its shape perfectly. This ensures a consistent meplat (tip) and identical drag profile for every single shot, crucial for consistent long-range .223 ammo performance. Combined with a secant ogive profile and a boattail base, this 73gr ELD Match bullet delivers best-in-class Ballistic Coefficients (BC) for superior wind resistance and flatter trajectories, making it ideal for competitive shooting and precision target practice.

It is important to note that this 73-grain projectile is longer than standard .223 bullets. It requires a rifle barrel with a twist rate of 1:8" or faster (e.g., 1:7") to stabilise properly. Firing this 73gr ELD Match ammunition through a standard 1:9" or 1:12" barrel may result in keyholing (tumbling) and poor accuracy, impacting your long-range shooting results.

  • Heat Shield® Tip: Resists aerodynamic heating to maintain a perfect shape, providing consistent drag and superior accuracy for long-range .223 shooting.
  • AMP® Bullet Jackets: Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process ensures the jacket has virtually zero variation in wall thickness, resulting in exceptional concentricity, vital for this 73gr ELD Match projectile.
  • Match-Grade Powder: Propellants are carefully matched to the specific load for optimal pressure, consistent velocity, and minimal temperature sensitivity, enhancing overall .223 match ammo performance.
  • Selected Brass: Cases are hand-selected for high internal capacity uniformity and consistent wall thickness, ensuring consistent chamber pressures and making them suitable for reloading.
  • Quality Control: Stringent manufacturing tolerances ensure lot-to-lot consistency, giving you "hand-load" performance right out of the box for your .223 Rem firearm.
