The Hornady 0.264 ELD-Match bullet with 147 grains, SKU 26333, is a popular choice among precision shooters seeking top-tier performance in the 6.5mm caliber category. Designed with the advanced Heat Shield tip, this bullet maintains a consistent and aerodynamic profile throughout its trajectory, reducing drag and minimizing ballistic deviation. Its secant ogive shape and sleek boat-tail base enhance stability and flat shooting over long distances, making it a staple for competitive shooting and long-range target practice.
The Hornady 0.264 ELD-Match bullet is not lead-free; it features a traditional lead core paired with a copper jacket, optimized for uniformity and performance rather than wildlife impact. This combination ensures remarkable consistency in weight and balance, essential for tight groupings on the range. While it excels in accuracy-driven applications, the ELD-Match 147 grain bullet is not intended for hunting and should be reserved for target shooting, competition, and precision marksmanship. Its design is tailored to shooters who value high ballistic coefficients and match-grade consistency, cementing its reputation as a go-to bullet for demanding target shooters.
