HSM Match .22 Creedmoor 88gr ELD Match - 20 Rounds

HSM Match .22 Creedmoor 88gr ELD Match - 20 Rounds

Shoot the heaviest bullet in the .22 Creedmoor with HSM Match .22 Creedmoor 88-grain ELD Match ammunition. HSM builds this load with Hornady's 88-grain ELD-M (Extremely Low Drag Match) bullet, which has a very high ballistic coefficient, so it holds velocity and resists wind at long range. It leaves the muzzle at about 3,260 fps with 2,077 ft-lbs of energy, and each box holds 20 rounds.

The ELD Match bullet has Hornady's Heat Shield polymer tip, which keeps the tip's shape and keeps the ballistic coefficient consistent from round to round. HSM is known for hand-assembled precision loads, and it uses brass cases, so you get consistent seating, consistent velocity, and repeatable accuracy from lot to lot. It is a good fit for long-range target shooting, precision rifle practice, and match shooting.

At 88 grains, it is heavier than the 80-grain Hornady Match load for the .22 Creedmoor, so check the twist rate of your barrel before you buy. Faster twists stabilize the longer bullets better, and your rifle's maker or a gunsmith can confirm what suits your barrel. This ammunition is for rifles chambered in .22 Creedmoor only. Stop by the store with questions, and our staff can help you pick the right load for your rifle.
