ELD Match Bullet Technology

At the core of this load is the 147 grain ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) bullet, designed for extreme aerodynamic efficiency and consistent flight stability.

Key advantages include:

• heat-resistant polymer tip for consistent ballistic performance
• high ballistic coefficient for long-range stability
• ultra-consistent AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket construction
• reduced wind drift and improved downrange precision

This makes it one of the most trusted options in modern 6.5 PRC match ammunition.

Superformance Velocity Advantage

Hornady Superformance Match technology uses custom-blended propellants engineered for each specific load. This allows the cartridge to achieve higher velocities without increasing pressure or felt recoil.

Performance highlights:

• muzzle velocity: 2,910 fps
• muzzle energy: 2,764 ft-lbs
• velocity gain: up to 100–200 fps over conventional loads
• no additional recoil increase

This gives shooters a flatter trajectory and improved long-range performance.
