Hornady Match 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain ELD Match Ammunition - 20 Rounds

Hornady Match 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain ELD Match ammunition is built for shooters who demand repeatable, competitive-level accuracy. Whether you're dialing in a long-range rifle at the range, testing loads for a precision match, or chasing the tightest groups your setup can print, this 20-round box gives you the consistency that separates good shooting from great shooting. ELD Match bullets are engineered for target and competition use, not hunting, with design features aimed at delivering the kind of bullet-to-bullet uniformity that serious marksmen depend on.

The foundation of this ammunition starts with hand-selected cases screened for wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, case weight, and concentricity—the kind of attention to detail that keeps pressures and velocities in a tight band. Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) bullet jackets minimize wall thickness variation, resulting in exceptional jacket concentricity that directly translates to tighter groups downrange. The ELD Match bullets themselves feature Heat Shield tips designed to protect the precision MEPLAT (the bullet's tip point) and deliver top-tier ballistic coefficients. Powder and primers are carefully matched to this specific load to ensure optimal pressure curves and consistent velocity, shot to shot.

If you're handloading or simply want factory ammunition you can trust to perform identically from round to round, Hornady Match delivers the precision foundation every precision rifle deserves. This is ammunition built by shooters for shooters who understand that match-grade accuracy is built, not promised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ELD Match ammunition used for?

ELD Match ammunition is designed for target shooting, competition, and precision shooting applications. The bullets are engineered specifically for accuracy and consistency in those contexts, not for hunting.

Why does Hornady hand-select cases for Match ammunition?

Hand-selected cases ensure uniformity in wall thickness, internal capacity, and concentricity, which keeps pressure and velocity consistent from round to round. This consistency is critical for repeatable accuracy at the range.

What makes the ELD Match bullet different from standard rifle bullets?

ELD Match bullets feature Hornady's Heat Shield tip and precision MEPLAT (tip point) design, along with Advanced Manufacturing Process jackets that minimize wall thickness variation. These design elements work together to deliver superior ballistic coefficients and bullet-to-bullet uniformity.

How many rounds come in this box?
