The Hornady 30 Cal 168 GR ELD Match 30506 is built for marksmen and competitive shooters demanding precision, consistency, and repeatable accuracy. With Hornady’s patented Heat Shield™ tip, this bullet resists aerodynamic heating, maintaining its ballistic coefficient BC and shape for enhanced trajectory retention.
The secant ogive and boat tail design reduce drag and wind drift, improving stability and long-range accuracy. Each bullet undergoes Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process AMP® for jacket concentricity and uniform weight distribution, ensuring consistent shot placement for PRS matches, F-Class competitions, and extreme long-range shooting.
