Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ELD Match different from standard hollow point match bullets?
Hornady's ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) bullet features a proprietary Heat Shield tip that resists the aerodynamic heating that causes polymer tips to deform in flight. This preserves the bullet's ballistic coefficient at all ranges, resulting in more predictable drop and drift compared to traditional open-tip or A-MAX style bullets. The AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket also ensures near-perfect concentricity, which translates directly into tighter groups downrange.
Is the 178 Grain ELD Match a good choice for long-range shooting beyond 500 yards?
Absolutely. The 178 gr ELD Match in 300 Win Mag is specifically designed for extended-range precision shooting. With a high ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.536 (G1) and a muzzle velocity of 2,960 fps, this load retains supersonic flight well past 1,000 yards. It is a popular choice for PRS (Precision Rifle Series) competitors and long-range target shooters who need repeatable, wind-bucking performance at distance.
Can the brass casings be reloaded after firing?
Yes. Hornady uses high-quality brass casings with Boxer primers, making spent cases fully reloadable. This is a significant advantage for high-volume precision shooters who want to reduce per-round cost over time. Hornady brass is known for its consistent wall thickness and durability, often allowing multiple reloading cycles when properly sized and annealed.
