Description
Nothing feels better than pulling up to the range in your cherry red ‘71 Cuda, stepping out in your snakeskin boots (real), and sauntering up to a stall with your also very nice 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. After making an entrance like that, you really owe it to your pride to do a darn good job of shooting your targets.
Here’s just the ammo for the job: Hornady Match. It’s designed to satisfy the exacting demands of competitive long-distance shooters. Not to say this ammo can outperform an expert’s handloads, but it does make match accuracy available as easily as opening a box.
The 147 grain ELD Match isn’t going to aim itself, of course. But it will accurately illustrate your marksmanship by going right where you aim it. It brings a lot of tools to the table: a boat tail, a thin Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, a secant ogive profile, and of course Hornady’s own Heat Shield tip. After confirming that regular polymer tips melt in response to aerodynamic heating, Hornady developed a polymer tip that stays uncooked by frontail air friction. It’s a sharp, perfect meplat that neatly divides the air before it.
Hornady recorded this round’s 2,695 fps muzzle velocity with a 24” barrel. They recorded its 0.697 G1 and 0.351 G7 ballistic coefficients with the same.
But wait! There’s more! Order this case of 6.5 CM ammo and receive Hornady’s specially selected and highly uniform 6.5 CM cases as well! Just pop their primers and powder and they’ll be all yours to handload. Now, may we please borrow your cherry red ‘71 Cuda?
