Hornady 33381 ELD Match .338 Caliber 285 Grain Bullets, 50 Count

Hornady ELD Match bullets are precision-engineered reloading components designed for competitive shooting and long-range target performance. Part number 33381 features a .338 caliber, 285-grain Extremely Low Drag Match bullet with a high ballistic coefficient of .829. The advanced design combines consistent manufacturing with aerodynamic efficiency to support accuracy and reliable performance from shot to shot.
The Heat Shield polymer tip is engineered to resist the effects of aerodynamic heating, helping maintain its shape throughout flight. This produces a consistent meplat, or tip profile, that contributes to uniform ballistic performance. An optimized secant ogive and boattail profile further improve the bullet’s ability to retain velocity and reduce drag, making these projectiles well suited for precision-focused handloads and competition applications.
Each bullet uses a lead core, AMP jacket, copper coating, and polymer tip. The .356 sectional density supports efficient downrange performance, while the cannelure-free design provides a smooth profile for reloaders seeking consistent seating and ballistic results. Hornady ELD Match bullets are supplied as 50 individual projectiles per box and are intended for use in properly developed .338 caliber reloads. Follow all applicable reloading data, component compatibility guidance, and safe handloading practices when assembling ammunition.
