Special Features
- Heat Shield polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating throughout flight, retaining its shape to produce a perfect, consistent meplat from bullet to bullet and lot to lot, outperforming traditional boattail hollow point designs at extended ranges.
- DVRT (Drag Variability Reduction Technology) increases drag uniformity across the bullet population, reducing dispersion and tightening groups at distances where small aerodynamic variations compound into significant point-of-impact shifts.
- Highly concentric AMP bullet jackets are drawn to exacting tolerances, eliminating the jacket wall inconsistencies that cause horizontal and vertical stringing downrange.
- Streamlined secant ogive combined with an optimum boattail design produces best-in-class ballistic coefficients that are measured and verified by Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions.
- Precision swaged lead core provides uniform density and mass distribution throughout the bullet body, contributing directly to aerodynamic stability and repeatable accuracy at extreme range.
- Available in a 100-count box, giving reloaders more components per purchase to support high-volume load development and practice sessions without constant restocking.
Practical Benefits
- The .670 G1 ballistic coefficient is among the highest available in the 7mm class, giving you a bullet that holds velocity deep into its trajectory, resists wind deflection, and stays supersonic to distances that push the limits of most 7mm cartridges.
- The DVRT tip technology means every bullet in the box behaves aerodynamically the same way, so your group size reflects your rifle and your load rather than variation built into the component itself.
- The AMP jacket concentricity keeps each bullet flying true on the bore axis, a critical factor when you are calling shots past 1,000 yards and tiny deviations magnify across distance.
- Whether you are loading for 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm PRC, 7mm-08 Remington, or another 7mm precision platform, the ELD Match (28403) seats consistently and responds predictably across a wide range of seating depths and powder charges.
- The Doppler radar verified BCs give you ballistic data you can trust when building firing solutions and dialing wind corrections, rather than relying on estimates that may not hold under real conditions.
- For the precision competitor or serious long-range target shooter, your investment in careful load development around the Hornady ELD Match (28403) returns tight groups, repeatable firing data, and the confidence to push distances without second-guessing your components.
The Hornady ELD Match (28403) 7mm .284 diameter 162 grain is a proven platform for the dedicated precision reloader and long-range competitor who demands Doppler-verified ballistic consistency, extreme low drag performance, and match-grade accuracy at the distances where most 7mm bullets run out of capability.
