Hornady 30-06 168gr ELD Match Vintage M1 Garand Ammunition

Hornady Vintage Match ELD Match ammunition in .30-06 Springfield is engineered for consistent performance, particularly in M1 Garand rifles. This 168-grain ELD Match projectile incorporates a Heat Shield® tip, which resists aerodynamic heating and deformation. This design maintains the bullet’s ballistic coefficient throughout its flight, contributing to reduced drag and improved accuracy at extended distances.

Engineered for Consistency:

• Precision Component Selection: Each load uses carefully selected cases that meet stringent uniformity criteria.
• Optimized Powder Charges: Powders are meticulously matched to each load to ensure consistent pressures, optimal velocities, and repeatable accuracy.
• Controlled Assembly: Bullet seating depth is precisely managed to maintain consistent overall length and contribute to reliable feeding and ballistic performance.

The manufacturing process emphasizes tight tolerances to ensure reliable operation and repeatable shot placement. This attention to detail makes Hornady Vintage Match an appropriate choice for historical rifle matches, general target practice at the shooting range, or for use in a precision rifle where consistent ballistic output is required. While primarily designed for match applications, its inherent accuracy makes it a viable option for certain hunting ammunition needs where precise bullet placement is paramount.
