Hornady 22774 ELD Match Target .224 73gr 22 Cal Extremely Low Drag-Match Ammunition
Hornady
The Hornady 83411 Match 22 Creedmoor 80gr Extremely Low Drag-Match ammunition delivers the precision you need for long-range target shooting and competition. Built on Hornady's match-grade platform, this load pairs an 80-grain ELD-Match bullet with components selected and controlled to exacting standards—the kind of consistency that separates solid shooting from winning.
The ELD-Match bullet features Hornady's Heat Shield tip, engineered to produce a consistent meplat (bullet point geometry) that improves accuracy across a wide velocity range. The jacket construction is optimized for match precision, and the overall design prioritizes the ballistic stability and minimal drag required for long-range centerfire rifle shooting. Case selection is strict: each round uses carefully inspected brass evaluated for wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, weight consistency, and concentricity—small variables that add up to predictable performance shot after shot.
Powder is matched precisely to this specific load to achieve optimal pressure, velocity, and accuracy. Hornady's stringent quality control means every round in the box meets the same tight tolerances, so you're not chasing variations between lots. It's match ammunition built on the principle that ten bullets should go through one hole—a standard that demands discipline from the shooter and consistency from the round.
Sold in 20-round boxes, this is the ammunition of choice for precision rifle competitors, long-range target shooters, and hunters who demand the best from their 22 Creedmoor.

The ELD-Match uses Hornady's Heat Shield tip to create a consistent meplat (the very tip of the bullet). This precision geometry improves bullet stability and accuracy, especially at extended ranges, and delivers more consistent performance than traditional hollow-point match designs across varying velocities.
Yes. Hornady Match ammunition is purpose-built for precision rifle competition and match-grade accuracy. The stringent lot-to-lot consistency, matched powder, and carefully selected brass make this an ideal choice for shooters demanding repeatability and accuracy in competitive environments.
Case uniformity directly affects velocity and pressure consistency, which translates to tighter shot groups. Hornady inspects every piece of brass for wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, weight consistency, and wall concentricity—variables that most ammunition producers ignore but that matter for precision shooting.
Each box contains 20 rounds of loaded, ready-to-fire 22 Creedmoor ammunition.
