Hornady 22 Cal .224 75gr ELD Match Bullets (100)
These are Hornady ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) component bullets in .224″ diameter (22 calibre), 75 grain, supplied as projectiles for handloading rather than as factory ammunition. They are built for target and long-range precision work, pairing a streamlined secant ogive and boat-tail base with Hornady’s Heat Shield tip, which holds a consistent meplat in flight where ordinary polymer tips can deform under aerodynamic heating. A precision swaged lead core and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets keep weight and dimensions uniform from bullet to bullet, while the overall profile delivers the Doppler-radar-verified, best-in-class ballistic coefficients ELD Match is known for. The result is a flat-shooting, low-drag match bullet that holds tight groups at extended range.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the Heat Shield tip on these bullets?
The Heat Shield tip maintains a consistent meplat in flight, preventing deformation under aerodynamic heating, which improves accuracy at long range.
Are these bullets suitable for factory ammunition use?
No, these are component bullets designed for handloading and are not intended for use in factory-loaded rounds.
What makes ELD Match bullets different from standard bullets?
ELD Match bullets have a streamlined secant ogive, boat-tail base, and optimized weight distribution, resulting in a lower drag profile and better ballistic performance at extended ranges.
Andrea Welch –
Used these bullets for long-range target shooting and noticed a significant improvement in group consistency. The flat trajectory and tight shot groups made a noticeable difference in precision. Very satisfied with the performance and reliability.
Sarah Bower –
Great for precision shooting at extended distances. The bullets maintain accuracy even at 500 yards. The Heat Shield tip performs well under high-speed flight conditions.
Nicola Watson –
Highly consistent in weight and shape. Groups were tighter than expected. Only minor variation in performance at very long range, but still excellent for match shooting.
Natalie Davies –
Perfect for handloading. The bullets are easy to handle and fit well in my reloading setup. Accuracy improved noticeably after switching to ELD Match.
