Description
For the long-range specialist seeking the absolute highest ballistic efficiency, the Hornady Match 6.5 Creedmoor 147gr ELD Match is the heavy-hitter of the lineup. While the 140gr variant is the industry standard, the 81501 SKU is designed for shooters who want to push the 6.5 Creedmoor to its maximum potential, offering superior wind resistance and energy retention at extreme distances.
Whether you are testing your rifle's limits with a 20-round box or ensuring lot-to-lot consistency for a national competition with a 200-round bulk case, the 81501 provides the "heavy-for-caliber" performance that elite marksmen demand.
Why Choose the 147gr ELD Match?
The primary advantage of the 147-grain ELD® Match bullet is its exceptionally high Ballistic Coefficient (BC). By moving to a heavier projectile, Hornady has created a round that "cheats the wind" more effectively than lighter loads. This results in less lateral drift and more predictable impacts when shooting in challenging environments or at distances exceeding 1,000 yards.
Performance Highlights:
-
Industry-Leading BC: The 147gr bullet features a staggering .697 (G1) ballistic coefficient, making it one of the most aerodynamic factory loads available for the 6.5 Creedmoor platform.
-
Heat Shield® Technology: Equipped with a heat-resistant polymer tip that maintains its perfect aerodynamic shape, even as it reaches the high temperatures generated by long-range flight.
-
AMP® Bullet Jackets: Advanced Manufacturing Process jackets ensure near-perfect concentricity, eliminating the slight imbalances that can cause "flyers" at long range.
-
Stringent Quality Control: Hornady hand-selects cases based on uniform wall thickness and internal capacity to ensure that every shot in your 200-round case performs exactly like the last.
Precision at Scale
The Hornady 81501 is the preferred choice for Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors and long-range enthusiasts who value stability over raw muzzle velocity. By choosing the 200-round case option at Recoil Gunworks, you are investing in the consistency of a single production lot, allowing you to dial in your data with total confidence.
