Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ELD Match bullets different from standard hollow point match bullets?
Hornady's ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) bullets feature a proprietary Heat Shield tip made from a heat-resistant polymer. Traditional polymer tips can deform from aerodynamic heating during flight, which changes the bullet's ballistic coefficient and point of impact at long range. The Heat Shield tip retains its shape, ensuring a consistent, high BC from muzzle to target — a critical advantage in precision and competitive shooting.
Is the 260 Remington a good cartridge for long-range precision shooting?
Absolutely. The 260 Remington is widely respected in the precision rifle community for its excellent balance of mild recoil, high ballistic coefficients, and inherent accuracy. Loaded with a 130 gr ELD Match bullet at 2,840 fps, this cartridge stays supersonic well past 1,000 yards, making it a competitive choice for PRS matches and long-range benchrest events. It also offers better barrel life than many comparable magnum cartridges.
Can I use this ammunition for hunting, or is it strictly for target shooting?
Hornady's ELD Match ammunition is specifically designed and optimized for target shooting and competition — not hunting. The match hollow point construction is tuned for accuracy and consistent flight, not controlled terminal expansion. If you're looking for a 260 Remington load for hunting, Hornady offers hunting-specific lines such as their ELD-X or SST loads, which are engineered for reliable expansion on game. Save the ELD Match for the range and the podium.
