Hornady V-Match 22 Creedmoor Ammo 69 Grain Polymer Tip Polymer Tip (Varmint Target) - 83414
Hornady V-Match 22 Creedmoor 69 grain ELD-VT offers a unique dual-purpose solution by blending the aerodynamics of a match bullet with the explosive performance of a varmint projectile. This load achieves a high muzzle velocity of 3,550 feet per second, providing an ultra-flat trajectory for long-range engagements. The construction features an ELD-VT bullet with an integrated air gap behind the Heat Shield tip to initiate rapid fragmentation upon impact. These rounds are engineered for uncompromising accuracy, making them suitable for both competition and field use. Every cartridge is loaded with clean-burning propellants to ensure consistent performance across varying temperatures. This 22 Creedmoor ammo is available in 20-round boxes and qualifies for free shipping on bulk cases through Target Sports USA.

Deep Dive
Overview
This 22 Creedmoor ammunition is for varmint hunting, medium game hunting, and long-range target applications. The 69 grain weight is optimized for high velocity, providing the flat trajectory necessary for engaging small targets at extended distances. Hunters use these rounds for high-energy terminal performance that results in rapid fragmentation upon impact. The ELD-VT design ensures the bullet remains aerodynamic for competition use while maintaining the explosive expansion needed for the field. The 3,550 fps velocity provides a significant advantage in reducing wind drift and flight time.
History and Development
The V-Match line is the result of years of ballistic research aimed at eliminating the compromise between target accuracy and hunting expansion. Hornady integrated the patented DVRT (Drag Variability Reduction Technology) to ensure that the ELD-VT bullet maintains the lowest possible drag throughout its trajectory. This line represents the next evolution of the Hornady catalog, combining the proven Heat Shield technology with a unique weight-to-length design. By moving the center of gravity and optimizing the core-to-bullet ratio, Hornady has created a series that excels in both high-velocity varmint hunts and long-range competitions.

Why It Stands Out:
Hornady V-Match 69 grain ELD-VT delivers the ultra-flat trajectory and explosive terminal performance required for modern long-range shooting. These rounds utilize meticulously selected components and AMP jackets to ensure every trigger pull is met with exceptional performance. By using the Heat Shield tip, Hornady guarantees a bullet that maintains its shape and low-drag properties throughout its entire flight. This ammunition is a premier choice for those using the 22 Creedmoor platform for both precision competition and field hunting. Bulk cases of 200 rounds ship free through Target Sports USA.
