Varmint Hunting
Oh man. The varmints must have truly messed up if you’re here on Lucky Gunner reading about Hornady V-Match 6.5 Grendel ammunition. We almost feel sorry for what you’re about to do to the little guys … but not so much that we won’t ship you as many match-accurate small game hunting cartridges as your heart desires.
This cartridge puts all the talents of Hornady’s own ELD-VT bullet on full display. It has the Heat Shield tip that made the ELD series bullet so famous: a sharp and flowing polymer meplat which doesn’t react to aerodynamic heating by deforming. It has the AMP jacket: a nearly perfectly concentric copper shell which doesn’t throw the bullet off balance as it spirals through the air. It also has a boat tail: one more reason why the 100 grain bullet possesses a 0.266 G1 ballistic coefficient, and therefore the ability to drop -8.3” after soaring 100 yards downrange of a 200-yard zero! (That figure assumes you’re centered up 1.5” and using a 24” long barrel.)
The ELD Match bullet does not expand. The ELD-X bullet does expand. But the ELD-VT bullet? It fragments. Once its polymer tip has disrupted the thin surrounding jacket mouth and plunged into the rearward-situated core, the ELD-VT behaves much like a tiny hand grenade minus a tiny pin. Varmints are SOL! (That stands for “sure outta luck.” We don’t like cursing here at Lucky Gunner.)
