Description
We doubt whether there’s a 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge in existence that couldn’t knock down a varmint or predator for the perpetual count. But if you want the very best performance for small game hunting the 6.5 CM has to offer, then what you really want is Hornady V-Match.
rThis round is loaded with a match grade projectile: the Extremely Low Drag Varmint. Like all ELD family bullets, the ELD-VT features a Heat Shield polymer tip. Its designed to forgo any sort of deformation, and stays sharp and true while it’s heated up by air friction. The Heat Shield is followed by a sleek and concentric AMP jacket. The ELD-VT finally tapers off in an optimized boat tail. The 100 grain ELD-VT’s 0.266 G7 (0.448 G1) ballistic coefficient and 3,200 fps muzzle velocity (24†test barrel) give it this kind of trajectory:
r0 yds: -1.50†→ 100 yds: 1.17†→ 200 yds: 0.01†→ 300 yds: -5.46†→ 400 yds: -15.82†→ 500 yds: -31.74â€
rThe ELD-VT’s closing act is fragmenting expansion. Its Heat Shield tip is poised on the AMP jacket’s extra thin rim. Impact shreds the surrounding jacket while driving the Heat Shield across a wide air gap. Once it connects with the lead core’s flat surface, the shrapnel flinging only intensifies.
