by Hornady · See details on brand website
The Hornady ELD-Match bullet features an extremely low drag, boat-tail design with a Heat Shield tip for maintained aerodynamic efficiency during flight.

The ELD-Match is best suited for precision long-range shooting and competition rather than hunting, making it ideal for target shooters seeking unmatched ballistic consistency and performance.
