This is serious precision ammunition, built from the ground up for one purpose: delivering the kind of accuracy that lets you know exactly what your rifle can do. Hornady Match 260 Remington combines meticulous component selection with exacting load specifications to produce ammunition that performs as well as or better than many handloads. Every detail matters here, from the hand-selected brass cases to the matched powder charges.
The ELD Match bullet sits at the center of this load. These aren't ordinary polymer-tip bullets. The Heat Shield tip is engineered to resist aerodynamic heating during flight, maintaining the bullet's geometry and ballistic coefficient from muzzle to target. Traditional polymer tips can soften and deform, degrading accuracy at extended ranges. The AMP jacket features near-zero wall thickness variation, creating unprecedented concentricity shot after shot. Combined, you get a 0.554 G1 ballistic coefficient that ranks among the highest available in factory 260 Remington ammunition, which translates directly to flatter trajectories and less wind drift.
Each box contains 20 rounds of ammunition loaded to stringent specifications. Hornady hand-selects brass cases based on wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, case weight, and wall concentricity. Powder gets matched carefully to each specific load for consistent pressure and velocity. Primers are selected individually to match the cartridge specs. The result is superior lot-to-lot consistency that competitive shooters depend on.
With a muzzle velocity of 2840 fps and muzzle energy of 2328 foot-pounds, this load performs at distances where precision matters most. Whether you're zeroing for competition, testing your rifle's true capability, or practicing for precision rifle matches, the uniformity and repeatability built into every cartridge means you can focus on technique instead of worrying about ammunition inconsistencies.
The ELD Match features Hornady's Heat Shield polymer tip, which resists deformation from aerodynamic heating during flight. Standard polymer tips can soften and change shape at long ranges, degrading the bullet's ballistic coefficient and accuracy. The Heat Shield maintains its form, ensuring the published ballistic coefficient holds true from muzzle to target, which matters especially beyond 400 yards.
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. They come boxer-primed with new production brass that's been hand-selected for uniformity. Many competitive reloaders and long-range shooters save and reload these cases for additional value, though the ammunition itself is built to factory match-grade specifications.
The 0.554 G1 ballistic coefficient ranks among the highest available for factory 260 Remington ammunition. A higher BC means less wind drift and flatter trajectory, which directly translates to smaller bullet drop and better performance at extended range. This matters if you're testing your rifle's true accuracy potential or competing in precision rifle matches.
This is built for precision rifle competition, target shooting, and anyone who wants to see what their rifle is truly capable of. The tight tolerances and consistent components mean you're not limited by the ammunition. It's also useful for competitive shooters in PRS-style matches and long-range rifle events where every round needs to perform identically.
