Hornady Match Ammunition

[ANDREW RICKETTS]

I will be getting my first custom rifle this week, looking for a good ammunition for shooting in general and being able to take down large game (elk, etc.) at 800 yards. Would hornady match ammunition be able to do this? or is their another ammunition I should consider?

Thanks,

Andrew

The hornady match ammo uses the ELDMs, which I think are fantastic long range hunting bullets for big game. Also, I shoot the match ammo in 3 different rifles - 6.5 PRC, 6mm CM and 6.5 CM and it has been so accurate I have questioned all the time and money I have invested in reloading equipment.

I've only shot their 162 eld x precision hunter for 28 nosler and 140 eld match for 6.5cm. Both shot very well for me. Not as well as handloads.

Have you shot game with them? If so how'd they do?

Several mule deer and several elk - they have been awesome. They perform similar to a berger IMO.

My buddy took a coyote and bull elk at 400+ yards each with a 28nos. One shot for each. Not much data, but worked on a light thin skinned and big heavy skinned.

Ive used the 225 bullets in 30 cal and 147 in 6.5 with good results.

Assuming you want to know if the bullets work for game? If so, I have shot mulies with 180eldm and 225eldm. One shot kills from 174-598 yds. I'm a repeat customer

I would look at the Berger ammo loaded with the 215 Hybrid.

I would say go with 300 Win mag. It has a large selection of bullets available for it and you can really customise a round for a purpose. Moose use a heavy load of powder and a high b.c. bullet. Deer use a lighter load of powder and a lighter bullet. To got the idea.
