Hornady Match ammunition in .308 Winchester (brand part no. 80966) is a match-oriented load engineered for consistent groups at extended distance. Hornady backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 168 gr bullet with an ELD Match design, matched to the .308 Winchester platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the Hornady load built for that job.
