Hornady 82300 Match 338 Lapua Magnum 285gr ELD-M Ammunition

The Hornady 82300 Match ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with 285-grain ELD-Match bullets engineered for precision shooting. This 338 Lapua Magnum load provides consistent ballistic performance that competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts demand for extended range engagements.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-Match (Extremely Low Drag-Match) bullet design incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology to maintain aerodynamic efficiency throughout flight. Unlike conventional match bullets that can deform at high velocities, the polymer tip resists melting and maintains its shape for superior ballistic coefficient retention. This translates to flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to standard match ammunition.

Key Features

• 285-grain ELD-Match bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
• 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge optimized for long-range precision
• Consistent powder charges for shot-to-shot velocity uniformity
• Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
• Match-grade primers for reliable ignition
• 20 rounds per box, 6 boxes per case (120 total rounds)
• Ballistic coefficient optimized for extended range performance

This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where accuracy at 1,000+ yards separates winners from participants. The heavy 285-grain bullet maintains energy downrange while the aerodynamic design minimizes environmental deflection. Long-range hunters appreciate the consistent terminal performance, while competitive shooters rely on the predictable trajectory data for precise holdovers and windage corrections.
