20 Rounds of 30-06 Springfield Ammo by Black Hills Gold – 168gr ELD Match

Serious 30-06 Springfield marksmen should try out this ammo. It’s loaded by Black Hills of South Dakota, which supplies match-grade 5.56×45 to the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s also loaded with the ELD Match, which is Hornady’s highest-quality match-grade projectile. It’s … like … ammo that’s really, really good at hitting its target!

It’s amazing how many features Hornady can fit into 168 grains of lead, copper and polymer. The ELD Match is shaped for accuracy. Its sleek profile terminates in a Heat Shield polymer tip, which is designed to resist deformation under intense aerodynamic friction. The ELD Match’s tip does not initiate terminal expansion; all it does is help the bullet pierce through the air, like a jousting rod.

The ELD Match’s swaged lead core provides consistent uniformity, as does its highly concentric Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jacket. This is a boat tail projectile as well – one more element responsible for the ELD Match’s low drag. We don’t have this loaded cartridge’s ballistic data, but Hornady puts the .30 cal 168gr ELD Match bullet alone at 0.523 G1, 0.263 G7.
