It features the ELD-VT (Extremely Low Drag - Varmint Tip) bullet, which combines low-drag match bullet aerodynamics with varmint bullet characteristics for dual-purpose performance.

Q: What are the key features of the ELD-VT bullet used in this ammunition?

A: The ELD-VT bullet features a Heat Shield Tip to prevent aerodynamic heating deformation, ensuring consistent performance at long ranges. It also has an AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jacket for peak accuracy and performance. The bullet is designed for rapid fragmentation upon impact, making it ideal for varmint hunting.

Q: How does this ammunition perform in windy conditions?

A: The 6.5mm Creedmoor V-Match 100gr ELD-VT performs exceptionally well in windy conditions due to its high ballistic coefficient and relatively heavy bullet weight for the caliber. These factors help the bullet resist wind drift, making it easier to maintain accuracy in challenging environmental conditions.

Q: What type of rifle twist rate is recommended for this ammunition?

A: A twist rate of 1:8" is generally recommended for optimal stabilization of the 100gr ELD-VT bullet in the 6.5mm Creedmoor. However, many rifles with 1:8.5" or 1:7.5" twist rates will also perform well with this ammunition.

A: The effective range varies depending on the shooter's skill and environmental conditions, but it can be accurate beyond 1000 yards. The high ballistic coefficient and velocity allow this ammunition to maintain supersonic flight at extreme distances, contributing to its long-range effectiveness.

Q: What is the expected group size at 100 yards with this ammunition?

A: Group sizes can vary depending on the rifle, shooter skill, and environmental conditions. However, in a quality rifle, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) groups of 1 inch or less at 100 yards are achievable with this match-grade ammunition.

Q: What is the recommended storage method for this ammunition?

A: Store the ammunition in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Proper storage in a sealed container or original packaging will help maintain its performance characteristics and extend its shelf life.
