The Hornady ELD� Match bullet is engineered for exceptional long-range precision, featuring a Heat Shield� tip that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains a perfectly uniform meplat throughout flight. This ensures consistent shape retention and repeatable aerodynamic performance. Patented DVRT (Drag Variability Reduction Technology) further enhances consistency by reducing drag variation, resulting in tighter groupings and improved downrange accuracy. Combined with a streamlined secant ogive profile, an optimized boattail design, and highly concentric AMP� bullet jackets, the bullet achieves outstanding aerodynamic efficiency and best-in-class ballistic coefficients. These BC values are verified using Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions for reliable real-world performance data. A precision swaged lead core completes the design, providing excellent uniformity that supports consistent aerodynamics and accuracy at extended ranges.
