Product Overview
Best Uses for Hornady Match 6mm ARC 108gr ELD Match
The Hornady Match 6mm ARC 108gr ELD Match is purpose-built for precision rifle competition and long-range target shooting. With its exceptional 0.536 G1 ballistic coefficient and consistent 2750 fps muzzle velocity, this load delivers the flat trajectory and wind-bucking performance that competitive shooters demand. The ELD Match bullet features Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology, which resists aerodynamic heating during flight to maintain its BC and ensure predictable, repeatable performance at extended distances.
This ammunition excels in PRS (Precision Rifle Series) and NRL (National Rifle League) competitions where the 6mm ARC's AR-15 compatibility provides a tactical advantage. Shooters can run standard AR-15 magazines and enjoy reduced recoil compared to larger calibers, allowing for faster follow-up shots and better target tracking. The 108-grain bullet weight maximizes the cartridge's potential for long-range accuracy while remaining supersonic well past 1,000 yards.
For precision shooters looking to train extensively without the cost and recoil of larger cartridges, the Match 6mm ARC offers an ideal solution. The consistent brass quality and tight velocity spreads deliver the sub-MOA accuracy needed for serious competition, while the manageable 1813 ft-lbs of muzzle energy keeps shooter fatigue to a minimum during long range sessions. This load is the go-to choice for competitors who want match-winning accuracy from the AR-15 platform.
- Exceptional 0.536 G1 ballistic coefficient for superior wind drift resistance and flat trajectory
