Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ELD Match bullet different from standard match bullets?
Hornady's ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag – Match) bullet features a Heat Shield tip made from a proprietary polymer that resists the aerodynamic heating that causes standard polymer tips to deform in flight. This preserves the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout its entire trajectory, resulting in tighter groups and more predictable wind drift at long range — a critical advantage in competitive shooting.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting, or strictly for target shooting?
The 147 gr ELD Match is optimized for precision target shooting and competition, not hunting. The match bullet is designed for accuracy rather than controlled expansion on game. For hunting applications with a 6.5 PRC rifle, Hornady offers the ELD-X and CX lines, which are purpose-built for terminal performance on big game.
What barrel twist rate is recommended for stabilizing the 147-grain ELD Match in 6.5 PRC?
Hornady recommends a minimum barrel twist rate of 1:8" to properly stabilize the 147-grain ELD Match projectile in 6.5 PRC. Most modern 6.5 PRC factory rifles ship with a 1:8" twist barrel specifically to accommodate heavy, high-BC bullets like this one. Always verify your rifle's twist rate before selecting bullet weights.
