The Hornady 81421 Match ammunition delivers precision-grade performance for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts demanding consistent accuracy. This 25 Creedmoor load features the advanced 134-grain ELD-Match projectile engineered for superior ballistic coefficients and reduced wind drift at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-Match (Extremely Low Drag-Match) bullet design incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation from aerodynamic heating during flight. This maintains the projectile's ballistic coefficient throughout its trajectory, unlike traditional polymer tips that can soften and deform. The result is more predictable flight characteristics and tighter groupings at ranges beyond 600 yards compared to conventional match bullets.
Key Features
- 134-grain ELD-Match bullet with Heat Shield tip maintains BC integrity
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for uniform powder burn
- Carefully selected propellants optimized for temperature stability
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.610 G1 for flat trajectory
- Match-grade primers ensure consistent ignition and velocity
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 25 Creedmoor chambered rifles
This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where consistent point of impact matters most. The 25 Creedmoor cartridge bridges the gap between the popular 6.5 Creedmoor and faster magnums, offering reduced recoil while maintaining effective range for PRS matches and long-range hunting applications. The carefully balanced powder charge produces consistent velocities across temperature ranges, critical for maintaining zero in varying field conditions.
