The ammunition is highly regarded for its reliability in performance, making it suitable for those who seek excellence in each shot.

History and Development

Hornady has a longstanding tradition of innovating in the realm of ammunition design and performance, focusing on the needs of competitive shooters and hunters alike.

This development was part of an effort to maintain bullet integrity even at high velocities across long distances.

Common Questions and FAQs

  • Is this ammunition suitable for hunting?
    This ammunition is typically used for target shooting due to its match-grade design. For hunting, specifically designed ammo, such as the Hornady Precision Hunter, might be preferred.

  • Does this ammo meet California's Proposition 65 requirements?
    A Proposition 65 warning indicates this product can expose you to chemicals like lead, which can cause cancer and reproductive harm in California.
  • What is the expected availability for this ammo?
    Availability can fluctuate due to demand; signing up for alerts through your account can help notify you when it returns in stock.
  • What makes the ELD Match bullet better for long-range shooting?
    The ELD Match bullet is designed with a Heat Shield tip to withstand aerodynamic heating, ensuring precision and maintaining shape during flight for high-level accuracy.

works well in my stock howa 1500. It made good groups at 100, but nothing out of the ordinary compared to other match ammunition at that distance. But once you push further out, its leaves others in the dust in its ability to make hits at range. fantastic ammo at a great price.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:Any idea when this 147 gr Hornady eld-m ammo will be back in stock? Thank you Bill - Bill (03/16/2023)
Response:Bill, We do not have specific dates when products will be arriving. These are unprecedented times within the ammo industry. On a daily basis, we are still receiving shipments of all types of ammo calibers, however, not nearly enough to fill the demand. You may want to sign up for notifications for when any ammo in this caliber comes back into stock and try a different brand. To sign up for notifications go to My Account > Communication Tab & scroll down to Notify by Caliber. Please note - Prime Members get this alert 3 hours prior to standard customers as a benefit of their paid membership, so we might not have any inventory remaining after the Prime customers get ahold of it. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
