The Hornady 245301 6mm .243 109-grain ELD Match bullet is purpose-built for precision rifle shooters, competitors, and handloaders who demand match-grade accuracy and ballistic consistency. ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag Match) rounds represent Hornady's commitment to long-range performance through advanced aerodynamic design and manufacturing tolerances that tighten shot-to-shot grouping and lot-to-lot repeatability.

What sets these bullets apart is the Heat Shield tip — a feature engineered to resist the effects of aerodynamic heating at velocity, maintaining a perfectly consistent meplat (tip geometry) that conventional hollow-point match bullets cannot guarantee. Combined with a secant ogive profile, optimized boattail design, and highly concentric AMP jackets, this construction delivers some of the highest ballistic coefficients in the .243 class. Hornady backs these BCs with Doppler radar verification and atmospheric correction, so the numbers you load by are real-world figures, not marketing estimates.

This product ships as 500 rounds per box across a 6-box case, making it convenient for serious handloaders and competition shooters who cycle through ammunition regularly. The 109-grain weight in .243 diameter suits precision rifles with a minimum 1-8" twist rate. Whether you're dialing in a custom match rifle, running a long-range hunting build, or loading for precision shooting sports, ELD Match bullets reward quality brass, clean powder charges, and careful seating with the kind of consistency that wins matches and tightens groups.
