Deep Dive

Overview

Hornady Black 6.5 Grendel Ammo 123 Grain ELD Match is crafted primarily for accuracy and consistency in long-range shooting. This ammunition is favored by competitive shooters and enthusiasts who require high performance on the range.

The ELD Match bullet further enhanced this by incorporating modern bullet design advancements, improving accuracy and consistency over traditional projectiles.

As a company known for setting benchmarks in the ammunition industry, Hornady employs rigorous testing and quality control measures, ensuring each round meets their high standards of reliability and precision. The integration of the ELD Match bullet technology was a significant upgrade, meeting the growing demands of precision shooters and cementing Hornady's reputation in the match shooting community.

I have 3 6.5 Grendel builds in 16", 18" and 22", and all 3 seem to like this 123 grain Black. I have tried 5 or 6 different brands in the same weight, but this stuff really gives great results down range. 16 and 18 inch are giving me 1"-1.5" groups all day long, and I'm good with that. My 22" is a Bear Creek Arsenal brand, and this ammo is producing 1/2" groups pretty consistently on a nice day, 3/4" any other time. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Jim W.

Hornady Black is Made for AR rifles and most accurate from AR platforms. Remember that. It’s not for bolt actions or lever action rifles It will shoot well from them but better to use regular hornady ammo in those rifles
