Product Overview
Hornady's 140-grain ELD Match is a polymer-tipped match 6.5 Creedmoor load made for competition. The ELD Match is Hornady's polymer-tipped target bullet. It leaves the muzzle at 2,710 fps with 2,283 ft-lbs and has a G7 BC of .326.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 13.4 inches at 300 and 29.5 inches at 400. From a 200-yard zero it drops 21.9 inches at 400, and it is still moving at 2,186 fps there.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's 147-grain ELD Match follows almost the same path, 29.4 inches at 400 from a 100-yard zero, and kicks about 10 percent harder in the same rifle. Hornady's 120-grain ELD Match is the flattest of the three at 26.8 inches at 400 from that zero.
- Still moving at 2,312 fps at 300 yards
- Drops 1.3 inches less at 400 yards than Hornady's American Gunner 140-grain from a 100-yard zero
- Loses 524 fps between the muzzle and 400 yards
- Federal's American Eagle 120-grain OTM starts 190 fps faster and kicks about 21 percent less in the same rifle
- Drops 0.4 inches more at 400 yards than that Federal load from a 200-yard zero
- A match bullet made for paper and steel, with nothing in it made to open up on game
