ELD Match is Hornady's competition load, and the tip is the whole argument. Hornady's own testing found conventional polymer tips soften and deform from aerodynamic heating in flight — the bullet leaves the muzzle with one BC and arrives with a worse one. The Heat Shield tip uses a heat-resistant polymer that holds its shape downrange, so the round flies to the number printed on the box.
Same 147 grain bullet Hornady loads in 6.5 Creedmoor, same .351 G7 — but the PRC case drives it at 2,910 fps instead of 2,695. That 215 fps is what you are paying for: less drop, less wind, and supersonic further out, at the cost of more powder, more recoil and shorter barrel life.
Match load. Built for paper and steel, not for expansion on game.
