Hornady ELD Match Bullets with Heat Shield .22 cal .224" 73 gr ELD MATCH 100/ct

Hornady ELD Match Bullets with Heat Shield .22 cal .224" 73 gr represent the evolution of precision rifle ammunition for competitors, long-range shooters, and tactical marksmen who demand repeatable accuracy at distance. These bullets are engineered specifically for match-grade applications where bullet-to-bullet consistency and aerodynamic efficiency directly translate to tighter groups and improved wind-reading capability. At 73 grains in .224" diameter, this projectile fills a critical niche for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO platforms requiring high-ballistic-coefficient ammunition that performs in real-world field conditions.

The Extremely Low Drag (ELD) technology centers on a proprietary Heat Shield copper alloy tip that maintains its shape and aerodynamic properties through transonic flight regimes where conventional bullets destabilize. The Heat Shield design protects the bullet's PERFECT MEPLAT (the precisely formed tip point) from deformation during firing and flight, preserving in-flight stability and BC performance across velocity ranges. This 100-count box delivers ammunition engineered with the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients in its weight class, critical for long-range wind deflection reduction and velocity retention downrange. Hornady's match-grade construction ensures uniform jacket thickness, consistent weight, and concentricity specifications that tier-one reloaders and ammunition manufacturers demand.

Tactical shooters, precision rifle competitors, and reloaders working .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO platforms will recognize the performance value in this bullet's design. Law enforcement and military applications benefit from the Heat Shield's consistent performance in suppressed rifles where subsonic velocity transitions are common. These bullets are compatible with standard .224" rifle platforms including AR-15 derivatives, bolt-action .223 rifles, and precision 5.56 NATO systems. Whether loaded for competition, long-range hunting, or duty applications, the Hornady ELD Match delivers superior ballistic performance in a readily available 100-round count suitable for range sessions, load development, and field deployment.
