Hornady Superformance Match .308 Winchester 168 Grain ELD Match – 20 Per Box 80963

The Hornady Superformance Match .308 Winchester 168 Grain ELD Match (80963) is designed for shooters who demand superior velocity and uncompromising accuracy. Built using Hornady’s proprietary Superformance propellant technology, this cartridge achieves up to 200 fps higher velocity than conventional match loads while maintaining stable pressures and repeatable results.

The ELD Match (Extremely Low Drag) bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating and deformation, ensuring consistent shape and drag profile in flight. With a high ballistic coefficient and low standard deviation, this load provides flat trajectories, reduced wind drift, and reliable performance even at extended ranges.

Every round is assembled with match-grade brass, primers, and powder, making it a trusted choice for F-Class, PRS, and long-range competitors using bolt-action or semi-automatic platforms.
