The Hornady 6mm .243 108 Grain ELD Match bullet is an ultra-low-drag reloading projectile engineered for competitive target shooting at extended ranges from 300 metres past 1,000 metres. Featuring a Heat Shield polymer tip, an Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jacket, a secant ogive, and a boat-tail base, this 108-grain projectile delivers uniform drag reduction and exceptional concentricity. It is optimised for modern fast-twist 6mm rifle cartridges, including 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm GT, 6mm Dasher, 6mm BR, 6mm ARC, and custom fast-twist .243 Winchester builds.

Key Features

• Heat Shield Tip: Employs heat-resistant polymer that resists aerodynamic friction melting at high velocities, preserving tip geometry and eliminating bullet meplat deformation in flight.
• AMP Bullet Jackets: Features Advanced Manufacturing Process jackets engineered with near-zero wall thickness variation to maximise rotational balance and in-flight concentricity.
• Doppler Radar-Verified Aerodynamics: Incorporates a secant ogive and boat-tail base design yielding an independently verified .536 G1 ballistic coefficient and .270 G7 ballistic coefficient.
• Drag Variability Reduction Technology (DVRT): Designed to maintain uniform bullet-to-bullet drag profiles, tightening extreme vertical spread at long-range target distances.

Who is the Hornady 6mm 108 Grain ELD Match Bullets 100 Pack for?

• Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors — relies on the .270 G7 ballistic coefficient of this 6mm reloading match bullet to minimise wind deflection and sustain flat trajectories through rapid barricade stages out past 1,000 metres.
• Long-range benchrest shooters — uses the high .536 G1 ballistic coefficient and the near-zero jacket wall variance of the 108-grain ELD Match design to tighten extreme spread and group sizing on distant paper targets.
• Load developers for fast-twist 6mm cartridges — builds custom match ammunition requiring a minimum 1:8" twist rate to properly stabilise long 1.268-inch 108-grain match bullets in cartridges like 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm Dasher, and 6mm GT.

Less suitable for: Standard factory .243 Winchester rifles fitted with slow 1:9.125" to 1:10" twist barrels, which cannot stabilise this 1.268-inch projectile (shorter 70 to 95-grain match bullets fit these barrels instead), as well as medium-to-large game hunting due to the lack of an InterLock ring or expanding jacket (dedicated controlled-expansion hunting bullets such as the 103-grain ELD-X fit that application better).
