Hornady 245301 6mm .243 109gr ELD-Match Bullets 500ct Case

The Hornady 245301 delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with its 109-grain Extremely Low Drag-Match design, engineered for precision shooters demanding consistent performance at extended distances. This bulk case provides 3,000 bullets across six 500-count boxes, offering serious reloaders substantial value for high-volume shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-Match bullet features Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation at high velocities, maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout its flight path. Unlike conventional polymer-tipped bullets that can melt and deform, the Heat Shield tip preserves the aerodynamic profile for superior downrange performance. The secant ogive profile and boat-tail design reduce drag significantly compared to standard match bullets, delivering flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift.

Key Features

• 109-grain weight optimized for 6mm/.243 caliber rifles with 1:8 twist rates
• Heat Shield tip prevents deformation at velocities exceeding 3,000 fps
• Secant ogive profile maximizes ballistic coefficient for extended range
• AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jackets ensure consistent concentricity
• Boat-tail design minimizes base drag for improved long-range stability
• Bulk packaging provides 3,000 bullets in six 500-count boxes
• Manufactured to match-grade tolerances for competitive shooting applications

These bullets excel in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential, particularly in F-Class and long-range tactical matches. The 109-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for wind-bucking capability while maintaining sufficient velocity for flat trajectory. The ELD-Match construction performs consistently across temperature variations, making it suitable for year-round competition shooting and hunting applications where precise shot placement is critical.
