The Hornady Match 300 PRC 225gr ELD Match ammunition delivers exceptional long-range precision for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. This premium match-grade cartridge features Hornady's Extremely Low Drag (ELD) Match bullet technology, engineered to maintain ballistic coefficient throughout flight for consistent 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 ballistic performance in standard polymer-tipped bullets. This 225-grain projectile achieves a ballistic coefficient of .777 (G1), significantly higher than conventional match bullets in this weight class. The cartridge utilizes carefully selected powder charges and premium brass cases to ensure lot-to-lot consistency that competitive shooters demand.
Key Features
- 225-grain ELD Match bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
- Ballistic coefficient of .777 (G1) for superior long-range performance
- Match-grade powder and brass for consistent velocities
- Optimized for 300 PRC chamber specifications
- Secant ogive design reduces drag and wind drift
- AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jackets
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications
This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential at distances beyond 1,000 yards. The 300 PRC cartridge provides superior ballistics compared to traditional magnum cartridges while generating less recoil than comparable .338 caliber options. The consistent burn rate and optimized powder charge deliver uniform velocities that translate to predictable drop and wind drift calculations.
