7PRC Hornady ELD Match

Be careful. It may OR may NOT have the ELD-M bullet: From the site ...

"Each cartridge is loaded with either Hornady® A-MAX® bullets, our high-performance boattail hollow points, or the new, radically superior ELD® Match bullets."

This was news to me. I would have expected ELD Match ammo to have an ELD Match bullet.....

I thought they quit making the A-Max, but the only 2 still listed in their product line are 30 cal and 50 cal.

The Hornady^® A-MAX^® bullet design grew from a relentless application of everything we know about ballistics and flight characteristics.

Could be. Since they still have that in the "text", means to me they may have a boatload in the "back". I am not willing to risk it. I may call and ask ...

If the BC is close, will it matter?

If they perform differently on game it may.

Did they ever make anything bigger than a 162 in the amax line?

No sir, that line has always been there and refers to the Hornady Match line of ammo in general, all Hornady Match in 7prc has 180 ELDs.

I called Hornady and they said A-Max only in 30-cal. 7PRC is ELD

The difference between the Amax and ELD-M is only the plastic formulation in the tip.
The jacket and core are the same construction so on game performance will be the same.

This. It’s a generic line that carries over from the main page for the Match line of ammo. If you look there you will see that certain caliber’s specifically are listed with A Max bullets. Some web designer just copy and pasted without paying attention.
