Hornady ELD Match Bullets with Heat Shield 6.5mm .264" 147 gr ELD MATCH 100/ct

The Hornady ELD Match Bullets with Heat Shield in 6.5mm .264" 147 grain represents the gold standard for precision rifle competition and long-range target shooting. Engineered for shooters who demand consistency across extended distances, these extremely low drag projectiles combine advanced aerodynamic design with Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield technology to deliver superior ballistic performance. Whether you're competing in precision rifle matches or conducting accuracy validation at the range, this 100-round box provides the velocity stability and BC reliability that separates match winners from the rest of the field.

The Heat Shield tip is the critical innovation here—it protects the bullet's tip geometry from aerodynamic heating during supersonic flight, maintaining the perfect meplat (flat tip point) that ensures optimal ballistic coefficient and consistent drag performance. The 147-grain weight in 6.5mm Creedmoor and similar cartridges sits in the sweet spot for ballistic density and cross-wind stability, while the ELD design delivers among the highest in-class ballistic coefficients available in factory ammunition components. This translates to flatter trajectories, less wind deflection, and reduced time-to-target—measurable advantages in competitive or precision environments where every tenth of an inch matters.

Precision rifle competitors, long-range hunters, and handloaders working with 6.5mm platforms benefit most from these projectiles, particularly those chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, or similar modern precision cartridges. The 100-count box format supports both single-load quality control and higher-volume reload sessions. Shooters should work up loads using established 6.5mm data and chronograph validation to confirm velocity consistency—the Heat Shield design performs optimally when velocity variation stays below 15 fps per shot string. Compatibility with standard .264" bore diameters is universal; always verify your rifle's specifications before purchasing.
