- Heavier 73gr weight suits long-range target shooting — typically requires 1-in-8 or faster twist
- AMP jacket with virtually zero runout and near-zero wall-thickness variation
- Optimised secant ogive and boattail for class-leading ballistic coefficient
- Doppler-radar-verified ballistic coefficients corrected to standard atmospheric conditions
- Component projectile only — no case, primer or propellant included
The Hornady ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) 73-grain .224 bullet is designed for long-range target and competition shooters who need a high-BC projectile that maintains its aerodynamic profile all the way to the target. At 73 grains the bullet is heavier than most .224 match projectiles, offering improved stability and higher retained velocity at extended ranges — though it requires a fast twist barrel, typically 1-in-8 or quicker, to stabilise fully. The defining feature is the Heat Shield tip: a polymer point immune to aerodynamic heating that retains its precise meplat shape throughout flight, preserving the high ballistic coefficient the bullet was designed to deliver. Hornady's AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket with virtually zero runout, an optimised secant ogive, and a purpose-matched boattail complete the package. Ballistic coefficients are measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions. Sold as .224-diameter component projectiles for handloading — no case, primer or propellant included.
