300 PRC – 174 Gr ELD-VT – Hornady V-Match (82168) – 200 Rounds

This 300 PRC load (82168) turns a magnum platform into a serious long-range target tool. Hornady loads it with a 174 grain ELD-VT bullet. That projectile is built for velocity retention, stable flight, and clean accuracy. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic change from friction. As a result, the bullet keeps its shape and holds a predictable path.

Hornady’s V-Match line focuses on precision shooting. Therefore, this load favors consistency over gimmicks. The 174 grain weight gives the shooter a faster, flatter option than many heavier 300 PRC loads. Meanwhile, the long, efficient profile still supports strong ballistic performance at distance. It tracks well in wind. It also stays composed through transonic flight.

The 300 PRC case design gives this round room to perform. It uses modern geometry, generous powder capacity, and a long-action footprint built for high-BC bullets. Consequently, shooters often choose the cartridge for steel matches, extended-range training, and precision rifle work. Hornady pairs that platform with the ELD-VT to create a fast, accurate, target-driven load.

Recoil remains substantial because this is still a magnum cartridge. However, the lighter bullet weight can reduce some recoil impulse compared with heavier 212 or 225 grain offerings. That matters during long range sessions. It helps shooters spot impacts and recover faster between shots.

Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 200 rounds. Moreover, that quantity supports load confirmation, match prep, and meaningful practice without needing constant reorders. Hornady uses brass cases and Boxer primers, so reloaders can recover premium brass after firing.

This load speaks to shooters who want speed, precision, and modern bullet design in a proven magnum chassis. It is built to stretch distance, punish steel, and print tight groups when the rifle and shooter do their part.
