Description

Hornady BLACK ammunition fills the role of a multi-platform rifle load designed to reliably fit, feed, and function across a wide range of action types and barrel configurations. This 22 ARC chambering is loaded with the 75-grain ELD Match bullet, a projectile engineered for consistent long-range accuracy and high ballistic coefficient performance. The Hornady BLACK line is specifically optimized to deliver reliable cycling and terminal consistency whether the firearm runs direct impingement, gas piston, or bolt actions, and whether suppressed or unsuppressed.

At 3075 fps muzzle velocity (24″ test barrel) and 1575 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load is firmly supersonic throughout practical engagement distances, retaining 1027 ft-lbs at 300 yards and 755 ft-lbs at 500 yards. Hornady specifies quality cases, primers, and propellant throughout the BLACK line to support consistent pressure curves across varying platform lengths — from pistol-length gas systems to full rifle-length configurations. Proudly made in the USA.
