The Hornady Match Rifle Ammo 338 Lapua Magnum 285 gr ELD Match from Hornady is built for long-range target shooting and precision benchrest work where consistency and terminal ballistics matter, and the ELD Match bullet design delivers an extremely low drag profile and high ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift at extended ranges; combined with AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jackets that offer near-zero wall thickness variation and exceptional concentricity, shooters experience more uniform flight and repeatable group sizes. With a listed muzzle velocity of 2745 fps and muzzle energy around 4768 ftlbs, this 285-grain load provides the downrange energy and stability needed for match stages and training with high-caliber rifles. The cartridges use brass cases and high-quality primers matched to the load for consistent ignition, and the powder selection yields controlled pressures and velocity consistency important for maintaining zero and reliably predicting ballistics. Made in the United States and packaged for range and competition use, this Hornady Match Rifle series round is a top choice for competitive shooters, long-range hunters seeking extended reach, and precision rifle enthusiasts demanding consistent, high-performance .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition.
