The Hornady 0.224 ELD-Match bullet, featuring a weight of 75 grains and identified by Hornady's #22791, is designed for precision shooters seeking top-tier accuracy. Engineered with a sleek, secant ogive profile and a Heat Shield tip, this projectile delivers outstanding aerodynamic performance, resulting in flatter trajectories and less wind drift even at extended distances. The ELD (Extremely Low Drag) Match line is renowned for tight tolerances and competitive-grade consistency, making these bullets a favorite among long-range target shooters and match competitors. The 0.224 ELD-Match is not a lead-free bullet; it contains a traditional lead core, so while it excels at punching paper and ringing steel, it may not be suitable in areas requiring non-toxic projectiles. Its primary application is for precision target shooting or competitions, rather than hunting, as the design prioritizes accuracy and ballistic efficiency rather than terminal expansion or energy transfer. Shooters utilizing popular cartridges like .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO will find this bullet ideal for stretching out distances and tightening group sizes on the range.
