The Hornady 26177 ELD Match Target 6.5mm .264 130 gr bullet is a precision rifle bullet engineered for shooters who demand match-grade accuracy at distance. Built with Hornady's Extremely Low Drag (ELD) technology, these bullets combine a Heat Shield polymer tip with a carefully optimized boattail design to deliver consistent, long-range performance on the target range and in competition. The 130-grain weight in 6.5mm is a popular choice for precision rifle disciplines where ballistic performance and shot-to-shot uniformity matter.
What sets the ELD Match apart is its attention to the details that separate competent bullets from match-winning ones. The Heat Shield tip maintains its shape regardless of aerodynamic heating—a real problem at extended ranges—and ensures a perfectly consistent meplat (tip point) every single time. Hornady's proprietary Drag Variability Reduction Technology (DVRT) tightens the margin of inconsistency in bullet drag, which translates to tighter groups and more predictable wind behavior downrange. The secant ogive and boattail geometry work together to achieve best-in-class ballistic coefficients, verified by Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions so you know the published numbers are real.
Internally, these bullets feature a precision swaged lead core—no randomly compressed powder-filled cores. That uniformity of construction contributes directly to the bullet's aerodynamic consistency and helps maintain accuracy even when you're stretching the distance. The highly concentric AMP jackets round out the package, ensuring minimal runout and maximum reliability from round to round and lot to lot. Whether you're loading for a PRS match, a long-range hunting expedition, or precision benchrest work, the ELD Match gives you a platform built to perform.

The Hornady ELD Match 6.5mm .264 130 gr bullets are designed for rifles chambered in 6.5mm cartridges. Common choices include 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and other 6.5mm match and hunting rounds, but always consult your rifle's documentation and your preferred load data to confirm compatibility and safe pressure levels for your specific rifle and powder combination.
The ELD Match is purpose-built for target and competition shooting. While the ballistic performance is excellent, for hunting applications Hornady offers purpose-designed hunting bullets. Check with Hornady's load data and recommendations to understand the appropriate use case for ELD Match versus their hunting-specific designs.
You're purchasing the bullets themselves. Reloading components are sold by the box or bulk quantity; check the product listing for the exact count and packaging format available from Bosque Outdoors.
Hornady publishes these BCs as best-in-class for the ELD Match line, verified by Doppler radar and corrected to standard conditions. For detailed BC numbers and direct comparisons to other specific bullets, consult Hornady's published ballistic tables and your preferred reloading software.
