Hornady Match .223 Rem 73gr ELD-M Ammunition

Hornady Match .223 Remington 73 Grain ELD-M

Hornady's Match ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded precision ammunition, engineered for shooters who demand consistency and accuracy. This is ammunition built to match-grade specifications—the kind of precision typically associated with handloads, but delivered with factory quality control.

Superior Component Selection

Cases are hand-selected to exacting standards:

• Wall thickness uniformity
• Internal capacity consistency
• Case weight matching
• Concentric wall construction

This meticulous case selection ensures that every round performs identically, eliminating variables that degrade accuracy.

Powder is carefully matched to each specific load for optimal pressure, velocity, and consistent accuracy. The powder charge is precisely controlled to deliver repeatable ballistics from shot to shot.

Primers are selected for quality and matched to the load specifications. Each primer is carefully installed to ensure reliable ignition and consistent performance.
