Hornady ELD Match 30 Cal 225gr Bullets

The Hornady ELD Match 30 Cal 225gr Bullets (Hornady part no. 30904) step up to a heavier weight inside the same Extremely Low Drag Match line. Hornady builds this bullet with a Heat Shield polymer tip that survives the aerodynamic heating of high-velocity flight, and at 225 grains it delivers a published ballistic coefficient of .777 for exceptional long-range performance. Each box holds 100 bullets, with 15 boxes to the case.

Key Specifications

• .30 caliber / .308-inch bore diameter fits standard .30 caliber match and precision rifles.
• 225-grain bullet weight is the heaviest ELD Match offering in this lineup, favoring maximum retained energy.
• Ballistic coefficient of .777 is measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions.
• Heat Shield polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating so the meplat keeps a consistent shape shot to shot.
• Extreme lot-to-lot consistency keeps handloads repeatable across boxes and production runs.
• 100 bullets per box supports extended load-development and match preparation.
• Secant ogive and boat tail design combine with the Heat Shield tip for a highest-in-class ballistic coefficient.
• Built for target and competition accuracy rather than controlled-expansion hunting performance.
• Sold as a bare reloading component, not loaded ammunition, pairing with brass, a primer, and a powder charge you select.
