Hornady ELD Match 22 Cal .224 80gr Bullets - 100/Box 25/Case

The Hornady ELD Match 22831 delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with its Heat Shield tip technology and streamlined ballistic profile. These 80-grain .224 caliber bullets maintain velocity and resist wind drift better than conventional match projectiles.

What Makes This Different

The patented Heat Shield tip prevents deformation at high velocities, maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout its flight path. Unlike traditional polymer tips that can melt and affect accuracy, the Heat Shield technology preserves the bullet's aerodynamic properties. The secant ogive design and optimized boattail reduce drag significantly compared to standard match bullets.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip technology prevents tip deformation and maintains BC
• 80-grain weight optimized for 1:7 and 1:8 twist rate barrels
• Secant ogive profile maximizes ballistic coefficient at .453 G1
• AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
• Streamlined boattail design minimizes base drag
• Match-grade construction with consistent weight tolerance
• Compatible with .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO chambers

These bullets excel in precision rifle competitions where consistent performance at extended ranges determines placement. The 80-grain weight provides excellent stability in crosswinds while maintaining supersonic velocity past 1,000 yards in most rifle configurations. The advanced manufacturing process ensures shot-to-shot consistency critical for sub-MOA groups.
