Hornady ELD Match 338 Cal 285gr Bullets - 50 Count Box 33381

The Hornady ELD Match 33381 bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent ballistic performance. These 338 caliber projectiles feature advanced aerodynamic design that maintains velocity and reduces wind drift at extended distances. Competition shooters and long-range hunters rely on the ELD Match series for its proven track record in demanding applications.

What Makes This Different

The Heat Shield tip technology sets these bullets apart from conventional match projectiles by maintaining consistent meplat shape throughout flight. Traditional polymer tips can deform or melt from aerodynamic heating, but the Heat Shield tip retains its profile for predictable ballistic coefficient values. This translates to tighter groups and more predictable trajectory calculations at ranges exceeding 400 yards.

Key Features

• 285-grain weight optimized for .338 caliber magnum cartridges
• Heat Shield tip prevents deformation during flight
• Streamlined secant ogive profile reduces drag coefficient
• AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
• Boat tail design minimizes base drag for extended range
• G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.789
• 50 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA performance in quality rifle systems when loaded to proper specifications. The 285-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics essential for long-range target engagement. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the advanced tip design and optimized bearing surface.
