Description
Hornady’s Match line of ammunition receives a greater degree of quality control, component selection, and comprehensive design than standard loads, making it the perfect brand to compliment Federal’s all-new .224 Valkyrie caliber. Each round is assembled using a reloadable brass casing that has been thoroughly checked overto ensure proper flash channel size, consistent case wall dimensions, and remove of snaggable burrs. The base of the casing is fitted with a clean-igniting Boxer primer while its volume is taken up with a precise amount of high-energy propellant. Hornady tunes their powder to match each specific load that they make for excellent performance that suits any task.
rSince the task in this case is achieving single ragged holes at exceptional distances, Hornady tops this load off with an 88-grain ELD projectile. The ELD bullet resembles other ballistic tipped loads with a drag-resistant boat tail taper and secant ogive that seemlessly transitions to a polymer windshield. Unlike conventional designs, the ELD’s plastic tip is made from a highly-researched material that resists melting at high speeds and is manufactured to a uniform shape every time, resulting in unrivaled stability and match-grade accuracy for long-range scoring when trophies are on the line.
