Hornady ELD Match Bullets with Heat Shield 6.5mm .264" 140 gr ELD MATCH 2000/ct BULK

Hornady ELD Match bullets with Heat Shield in 6.5mm .264" 140 grain are built for precision reloaders who demand consistency and ballistic performance on the range and in competition. These component bullets come in bulk—2,000 per container—giving you the volume you need for serious training or match prep without the per-round cost of factory ammo. The ELD Match line combines proven design with proprietary Heat Shield tip technology to deliver the accuracy and trajectory stability that separate competitive loads from everything else.

What makes these bullets different is how they handle the stresses of flight. Hornady's Heat Shield tip maintains its shape under aerodynamic heating at long range, preserving the perfect meplat (tip geometry) that's critical for consistent accuracy. The secant ogive profile and optimized boattail work together with AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket concentricity to minimize shot-to-shot variation. That engineering shows up on paper: ballistic coefficients are verified using Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Match shooters and precision rifle reloaders will appreciate the bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot consistency that ELD Match is known for. Whether you're testing loads for competition, fine-tuning a long-range hunting rifle, or building ammo for precision rifle sports, these 140-grain projectiles give you the performance edge that comes from precision manufacturing. In bulk form, they're economical for high-volume shooting without compromising on the exacting specs that match-grade ammunition demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Heat Shield tip and why does it matter?

Hornady's Heat Shield tip is designed to resist the effects of aerodynamic heating during flight and maintain consistent tip geometry. This preserves the meplat (tip point), which is essential for predictable ballistic performance and accuracy, especially at extended ranges.

Are these bullets suitable for match shooting and competition?

Yes. ELD Match bullets are engineered specifically for precision rifle competition and target shooting. The combination of radar-verified ballistic coefficients, AMP jacket concentricity, and Heat Shield tip technology delivers the consistency and accuracy that competitive reloaders demand.

Why choose bulk (2,000 count) instead of smaller quantities?

Bulk packaging reduces per-round cost, making it economical for high-volume shooting, load development, or preparing large batches for competition season. You get the same match-grade quality with better value when you're committed to volume.

How are the ballistic coefficients determined for these bullets?

Hornady uses Doppler radar to measure ELD Match ballistic coefficients and corrects them to standard atmospheric conditions. This provides accurate, verified BC data you can trust for ballistic calculators and trajectory planning.
