The Hornady .243 6mm 109 Grain ELD-Match bullet is an inert reloading projectile engineered for competitive precision rifle shooting and extreme long-range target applications. Built with a polymer-tipped boat tail profile and secant ogive geometry, this 109-grain bullet delivers flat trajectories and low aerodynamic drag across extended distances. Each projectile features a 0.243-inch diameter and an overall bullet length of approximately 1.317 inches, yielding a sectional density of 0.264. Supplied in a bulk 500-count Match Pack, these projectiles are sequentially packed to maintain batch-to-batch weight and dimensional consistency during load development.

Key Features:

• Heat Shield® Tip: Uses heat-resistant polymer that prevents tip deformation caused by aerodynamic frictional heating, preserving the meplat shape and maintaining consistent ballistic coefficients downrange.
• AMP® (Advanced Manufacturing Process) Jacket: Features concentric jacket construction with virtually zero wall-thickness variation to eliminate asymmetry and tighten group sizes.
• Swaged Lead Core with DVRT™: Precision core manufacturing combined with Drag Variability Reduction Technology reduces bullet-to-bullet aerodynamic variance.
• Radar-Verified Aerodynamics: Delivers Doppler radar-confirmed ballistic coefficients of 0.585 (G1) and 0.295 (G7) for predictable elevation and windage corrections from 300 to beyond 1,000 metres.

Who is the Hornady 6mm 109 Grain ELD-Match Bullets 500 Pack for?

• Competitive precision rifle shooters in PRS and NRL disciplines — who require minimal wind deflection and flat trajectories provided by this 6mm reloading match bullet's radar-verified 0.585 G1 and 0.295 G7 ballistic coefficients.
• Handloaders developing match loads for fast-twist 6mm cartridges — who need large-volume component uniformity from a 500-count packaging quantity optimized for barrels featuring a 1:8 inch or faster twist rate.

Less suitable for: Rifles with barrel twist rates slower than 1:8 inch (such as standard factory 1:10 inch or 1:9.25 inch barrels), which cannot dynamically stabilize this 109-grain projectile and require lighter 70-to-90-grain target bullets; also unsuitable for medium or large game hunting due to the lack of a controlled-expansion jacket, where dedicated expanding hunting projectiles with mechanical interlocks are required.
