The Hornady 82043 Match ammunition delivers precision-engineered performance for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts demanding consistent accuracy from their 300 Winchester Magnum rifles. This premium match-grade ammunition features the advanced ELD-M (Extremely Low Drag Match) bullet design that maintains superior ballistic coefficients across all velocities.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-M bullet construction incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology, which resists aerodynamic heating better than traditional polymer tips. This design maintains the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout flight, delivering more predictable trajectories than conventional match bullets. The 178-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and wind resistance for the 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge.
Key Features
- 178-grain ELD-M bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Carefully selected propellants for optimal velocity consistency
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.552 (G1)
- Match-grade primers for reliable ignition
- Compatible with all 300 Winchester Magnum chambered rifles
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications
This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential. The consistent powder charges and quality control processes result in minimal velocity variations shot-to-shot. Long-range hunters appreciate the retained energy and flat trajectory characteristics at extended distances. The ELD-M design performs reliably in various weather conditions while maintaining accuracy standards required for competitive shooting.
