The Hornady Match 260 Remington 130-grain ammunition delivers match-grade precision for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts. Built with Hornady's Extremely Low Drag Match (ELD-M) bullet technology, this cartridge maintains consistent ballistic performance across extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-M bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation during flight, maintaining the projectile's ballistic coefficient better than traditional polymer-tipped bullets. This design provides superior accuracy and consistent expansion compared to standard hunting ammunition. The aerodynamic profile reduces wind drift and delivers flatter trajectories at ranges beyond 600 yards.
Key Features
- 130-grain ELD-M bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
- Optimized powder charge for consistent muzzle velocities
- Match-grade brass cases for reliable feeding and extraction
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.506 (G1)
- Muzzle velocity around 2,840 fps from 24-inch barrel
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 260 Remington chambered rifles
This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where consistent point of impact matters most. The 260 Remington cartridge offers manageable recoil while maintaining energy downrange, making it suitable for both target shooting and medium game hunting. The ELD-M bullet construction provides reliable expansion at lower velocities, extending effective range compared to traditional match bullets.
