Hornady 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match

The Hornady 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match is a match-grade bullet component designed for precision shooters who demand extreme accuracy, minimal drag, and consistent performance in .22-caliber rifles. Weighing 75 gr with a .224‑inch diameter, the 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match utilizes Hornady’s ELD® (Extremely Low Drag) profile with a Heat Shield® polymer tip and boat-tail design to deliver unmatched ballistic efficiency and long-range stability.

I​ncluding a secant ogive with a polished Heat Shield® tip, the 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match achieves a high G1 ballistic coefficient verified by Doppler radar. This enables flat trajectories, reduced wind drift, and tight groupings at match distances. Each 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match bullet maintains consistency across a variety of twist rates and seating depths, ensuring repeatable shot-to-shot performance.

The AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket on the 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match provides near-zero runout and uniform wall thickness, combined with a precision-swaged lead core to secure concentricity and weight consistency. This construction supports high muzzle velocities and predictable external ballistics—ideal for competitive shooters using 1:8 to 1:9 twist barrels in cartridges like 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO.

The boattail base and optimized ogive geometry of the 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match enhance aerodynamic performance and feeding reliability in bolt-action and AR-style rifles. Shooters report sub-MOA accuracy out to 600 yards, with the 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match delivering consistent impact placement and excellent terminal velocity retention.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska plant, the Hornady 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match is sold as a bullet component only. Reloaders must pair it with suitable brass, powder, and primers. With strict quality control over tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and core consistency, the 22 Cal 75gr ELD Match stands as a top-tier match bullet for serious competitors and long-range enthusiasts.
