The Hornady 81620 Match ammunition delivers exceptional long-range precision with its 147-grain ELD Match projectile in 6.5 PRC. This match-grade cartridge achieves superior ballistic coefficients and consistent velocities that competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts demand for extended range applications.
What Makes This Different
The ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) bullet design incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology that resists aerodynamic heating effects during flight. This advanced projectile maintains its ballistic coefficient throughout the entire trajectory, unlike traditional polymer-tipped bullets that can deform at high velocities. The 6.5 PRC cartridge case provides optimal powder capacity for the 147-grain bullet weight, achieving flat trajectories with manageable recoil.
Key Features
- 147-grain ELD Match bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
- 6.5 PRC cartridge optimized for long-range precision shooting
- Secant ogive bullet profile reduces drag coefficient
- AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable propellants
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
This ammunition excels in precision rifle competition where sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges determines placement. The 6.5 PRC cartridge launches the 147-grain projectile at approximately 2,910 fps, maintaining supersonic flight beyond 1,300 yards. The combination of high ballistic coefficient and optimal sectional density makes this load effective for both target shooting and hunting applications where precise shot placement matters.
