Hornady Match 223 Rem 73gr ELD Match Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Hornady 80269 Match ammunition delivers exceptional long-range precision with its 73-grain ELD Match projectile, engineered for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. This match-grade cartridge features Hornady's Extremely Low Drag (ELD) bullet technology that maintains ballistic coefficient throughout flight for superior accuracy at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The ELD Match bullet incorporates a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating, preventing tip deformation that degrades accuracy in traditional polymer-tipped bullets. While standard match ammunition may lose precision beyond 400 yards due to tip inconsistencies, the ELD Match maintains its ballistic coefficient of .395 (G1) throughout its trajectory. This translates to tighter groups and more predictable drop compensation at distances exceeding 600 yards.

Key Features

• 73-grain ELD Match bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
• Ballistic coefficient of .395 (G1) for superior long-range performance
• Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Carefully selected propellant for optimal velocity consistency
• 20 rounds per box for precision shooting sessions
• Compatible with 1:8 twist rate barrels and faster
• Muzzle velocity of approximately 2,790 fps from 24-inch barrel

This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential. The consistent powder charges and quality control standards result in minimal velocity spreads, typically under 20 fps standard deviation. The 73-grain weight provides excellent stability in crosswinds while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics ideal for NRA High Power, F-Class, and PRS competitions.
