Description

Product Overview

Engineered for the shooter who demands consistency at distance, the Hornady Black Brass 6.5 Grendel 123 Grain ELD-Match is a factory-loaded cartridge built to perform. This 20-round box of ammunition is designed specifically for precision shooting applications where ballistic uniformity is non-negotiable. The 6.5 Grendel cartridge itself is renowned for its efficient powder burn, flat trajectory, and excellent downrange energy retention from intermediate-length AR-15 platforms. This particular load from Hornady is tailored for competitive match shooters, hunters pursuing medium game, and long-range enthusiasts who require reliable, high-performance ammunition straight from the box. Its balanced design makes it an ideal choice for anyone seeking to maximize the potential of their Grendel-platform rifle without the variables of handloading.

Key Features

• 123 Grain ELD-Match Bullet: Features Hornady’s proprietary Heat Shield tip technology on the Extremely Low Drag (ELD) projectile. This polymer tip resists deformation from aerodynamic heating, maintaining a consistent ballistic coefficient shot after shot for superior long-range accuracy.
• Precision Brass Cases: Each cartridge is loaded with high-quality, reloadable brass that ensures consistent internal volume. This uniformity in case construction is a critical foundation for the predictable pressure and velocity needed for tight groups.
• Optimized Propellant: Hornady utilizes a carefully selected powder charge tailored to the 6.5 Grendel’s case capacity and the 123-grain bullet weight. This optimization promotes efficient burning for consistent muzzle velocity and reduced extreme velocity spreads.
• Match-Grade Primers: Equipped with reliable, sensitive primers designed for consistent ignition. This attention to the ignition component minimizes one of the many variables that can affect shot-to-shot precision.
• Factory-Tuned Consistency: Every round in this 20-count box undergoes Hornady’s stringent manufacturing controls. The result is ammunition where bullet seating depth, powder charge, and crimp are held to tight tolerances, providing the shooter with a dependable, match-ready product.
• Ideal for AR-15 Platforms: The 6.5 Grendel cartridge is a natural fit for the AR-15 with a simple upper receiver change. This load is engineered to function reliably in properly configured semi-automatic actions, offering precision rifle performance in a familiar platform.

Performance & Applications

Precision Rifle Competition (PRS/NRL): The 123-grain ELD-Match bullet excels in gas gun divisions. Its high ballistic coefficient and consistent flight characteristics allow competitors to engage steel targets out to 800 yards and beyond with greater confidence. The ammunition’s inherent accuracy helps shooters manage wind calls and make precise corrections during staged matches.

Medium Game Hunting: While the ELD-Match is a target projectile, its weight and construction make the 6.5 Grendel an effective cartridge for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game at ethical ranges. The 123-grain offering provides a flat trajectory and sufficient energy for clean harvests when shots are well-placed. Always verify local regulations and choose projectiles appropriate for your game.

Long-Range Training & Development: For shooters building skills, this factory ammunition provides a level of performance typically associated with custom handloads. It allows the shooter to focus on fundamentals—wind reading, positional shooting, and trigger control—without introducing the variable of ammunition inconsistency, making it an excellent tool for skill advancement.
