Product Overview
Hornady Match 7mm PRC 180gr ELD Match ammunition delivers competition-grade precision for long-range shooters and PRS competitors. The 180-grain ELD Match bullet boasts an industry-leading 0.796 G1 ballistic coefficient—one of the highest available in any caliber—enabling this projectile to remain supersonic past 1,900 yards. At 2,975 fps muzzle velocity and 3,539 ft-lbs of energy, this load represents the pinnacle of factory match ammunition performance.
Precision Rifle Series competitors and F-Class shooters will appreciate the extreme consistency this ammunition provides. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating that can deform conventional polymer tips at high velocities, maintaining the bullet's precise meplat shot after shot. Combined with Hornady's stringent quality control on powder charges and overall cartridge dimensions, expect sub-MOA accuracy from quality rifles.
This ammunition also serves as excellent practice ammunition for hunters sighting in their 7mm PRC rifles, as the 180gr ELD Match has similar trajectory to the 175gr ELD-X hunting load. Long-range target shooters pushing beyond 1,000 yards will find the ELD Match's superior BC reduces wind drift and maintains velocity better than any competing bullet design.

- Similar trajectory to ELD-X hunting loads for practice
- Not designed for hunting (no controlled expansion)
- Premium match ammunition pricing
- Heavier bullet reduces velocity compared to lighter options
- Requires quality barrel and rifle to realize accuracy potential
