Building a precision .22 Creedmoor load is about getting every variable locked down, and that's exactly what Hornady has done with this Match ammunition. The 80-grain weight sits right in the sweet spot for this cartridge, giving you the ballistic coefficient you want for distance shooting while staying manageable in recoil. You're looking at 3285 fps from the muzzle, which means a genuinely flat trajectory and the kind of velocity retention that makes long-range hits possible in real-world wind.
The ELD Match bullet itself is where the engineering shows up. It's not just a polymer-tipped round-nose. The Heat Shield tip holds its shape through aerodynamic heating, which means you get a consistent meplat (the flat nose) shot to shot. That matters for consistency. The secant ogive and boattail design push the ballistic coefficient to 0.485 G1, and Hornady's proprietary DVRT (Drag Variability Reduction Technology) reduces bullet-to-bullet drag variation for tighter dispersion at distance. Inside that bullet is a precision-swaged lead core built for uniformity.
Hornady selects brass by strict criteria: wall thickness consistency, internal capacity, case weight, and concentricity. The powder charge is matched specifically to this load for optimal pressure and velocity. Then comes stringent quality control on every step—bullet seating depth, charge consistency, velocity verification, overall length. The goal here is what Hornady founder JW Hornady originally aimed for: ten bullets through one hole. In practice, that translates to sub-MOA groups at extended ranges and the repeatability that separates good ammunition from match-winning ammunition.
Whether you're running a custom precision build or a factory rifle in this caliber, this ammunition is built to perform. The .22 Creedmoor has earned its reputation as one of the flattest, most efficient .22 centerfire options available, and this load lets the cartridge deliver on that promise. Twenty rounds per box gives you a practical quantity for practice strings and match rounds.
ELD Match bullets use a Heat Shield polymer tip that stays aerodynamically efficient even at extreme velocities and temperatures, creating a perfectly consistent tip profile shot to shot. The DVRT design reduces drag variation between bullets, which translates to tighter groups and less vertical stringing downrange, especially important for tight match scoring.
This is purpose-built match ammunition designed for precision and consistency in competitive shooting and target practice. While the .22 Creedmoor cartridge itself can be used for hunting small to mid-sized game, these specific loads are engineered for accuracy at distance rather than terminal hunting performance.
An 80-grain bullet in .22 Creedmoor works well with 1:7 or 1:8 inch twist barrels. Most custom and factory precision builds designed for this cartridge run these twist rates. A 24-inch barrel is typical for competitive .22 Creedmoor rifles, though shorter barrels will still perform well with minimal velocity loss.
The .22 Creedmoor delivers flatter trajectories and better wind resistance than traditional 22 centerfires like the 22-250, while maintaining significantly lower recoil than larger magnums. This makes it exceptional for precision at distance, especially in competitions where shot-to-shot consistency and follow-up speed matter.
