Description
The Hornady ELD Match is Hornady’s flagship precision target bullet, engineered for competitive shooters and handloaders who demand extreme downrange accuracy. This .22 caliber bullet features a .224 diameter and a 52 grain weight, built around a precision swaged lead core encapsulated in a concentric AMP copper jacket.
At the heart of the design is Hornady’s signature Heat Shield polymer tip, constructed from a heat-resistant material that holds its shape in the aerodynamic heating zone at high velocities. Combined with an optimum secant ogive profile and a boat tail base, the ELD Match delivers an impressive G1 ballistic coefficient of .247 and a sectional density of .148. The streamlined geometry minimizes drag and retains velocity exceptionally well at long range, while the no-cannelure design preserves jacket integrity for top-tier accuracy.
Hornady specifies a minimum 1:14″ twist rate for these .224 diameter bullets. Intended for target shooting applications, they are an ideal choice for precision rifle competition, F-Class, and long-range practice. Each box contains 100 bullets, with 40 boxes per case.
