The Hornady ELD-VT .224 62gr rifle bullet brings match-grade ballistics to varmint hunting and precision shooting. Built on Hornady's extensive ballistic research, these bullets blend the aerodynamic efficiency of a low-drag match design with the speed and terminal performance you need for consistent, explosive results across varied distances and conditions. Whether you're handloading for prairie dogs, groundhogs, coyotes, or running them through a precision rifle at the range, the ELD-VT delivers the accuracy and fragmentation that define modern varmint ammunition.
What sets the ELD-VT apart is its dual-purpose engineering: you get the ballistic coefficient and velocity retention of a competition-grade bullet paired with rapid expansion and fragmentation on impact. The .224 caliber 62-grain weight strikes a practical balance between wind-bucking performance and the energy needed for reliable terminal behavior on smaller to mid-sized game and varmints. The low-drag profile means flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and more predictable holds at extended range—critical when you're stretching shots beyond typical varmint distances.
These bullets come in 100-count boxes, making them practical for serious handloaders who run high volumes through bench-rest setups, custom precision rifles, or dedicated varmint platforms. The sectional density and ballistic coefficients listed below give you the data you need to load with confidence and dial your ballistic calculator accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles are ELD-VT .224 62gr bullets compatible with?
The .224 diameter makes these bullets suitable for any standard .224-caliber rifle platform, including .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .22-250 Remington, and other cartridges that chamber .224-diameter projectiles. Always verify bore diameter and consult your rifle's manual or a reloading manual before loading.
Are these bullets suitable for long-range varmint hunting?
Yes. The ELD-VT design pairs low-drag ballistics with the lighter weight typical of varmint bullets, making them well-suited for extended-range varmint hunting where trajectory flatness and wind-resistance matter. The ballistic coefficients (.395 G1, .199 G7) support accurate long-range shooting.
What's included in a 100-count box?
Each box contains 100 individual .224 62-grain ELD-VT bullets, ready for handloading into your chosen cartridge.
Can I use these for precision rifle competitions?
The ELD-VT platform incorporates match-grade aerodynamic design, so these bullets are capable of precision shooting. However, specific use should align with your rifle's caliber, your competition rules, and your handloading setup.
