The Hornady 30904 ELD Match bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy through advanced aerodynamic design and Heat Shield tip technology. These .308 caliber projectiles maintain their ballistic coefficient throughout flight, providing consistent performance at extended distances where standard match bullets begin to lose precision.
What Makes This Different
The ELD Match design incorporates Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip that resists deformation from aerodynamic heating during flight. Unlike traditional polymer tips that can melt or deform at high velocities, the Heat Shield tip maintains its shape to preserve the bullet's ballistic coefficient. This technology allows the 225-grain projectile to retain superior downrange performance compared to conventional match bullets.
Key Features
- Heat Shield tip technology prevents tip deformation during flight
- Optimized secant ogive profile for reduced drag coefficient
- AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
- 225-grain weight provides excellent wind deflection resistance
- Streamlined boat-tail design enhances ballistic efficiency
- Swaged lead core for consistent weight distribution
- Match-grade construction with tight weight tolerances
These bullets excel in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy at 600-1000 yards separates winners from the field. The 225-grain weight offers superior ballistic performance in windy conditions while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics. Long-range hunters appreciate the consistent expansion and energy retention at distances where lighter bullets lose effectiveness.
