Hornady 6mm Creedmoor ELD-X Ammunition

In the world of precision shooting and hunting, Hornady stands as a beacon of innovation and quality. The Hornady 6mm Creedmoor with its 103 Grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet exemplifies this commitment to excellence.

The hallmark of the ELD-X bullet is its unmatched aerodynamic efficiency, achieved through a combination of features meticulously designed for performance. At its core is the Heat Shield tip, verified by Doppler radar, which resists aerodynamic heating to maintain optimal shape throughout flight. This ensures that the ballistic coefficient remains highest-in-class across all trajectories.

Complementing this advanced tip design are other critical elements such as a streamlined secant ogive profile and an optimum boattail configuration. Together with highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, these features deliver radically superior aerodynamics.

This ammunition shines in both close-range encounters and extended distances. Within 0-400 yards, expect continuous expansion along the penetration path due to high velocity impact dynamics. The robust jacket shank paired with an InterLock ring maintains structural integrity between core and jacket, securing weight retention at approximately 50-60% during these engagements.

At ranges beyond 400 yards where velocities drop off significantly, the Heat Shield tip ingeniously drives back into the bullet on impact initiating controlled expansion reminiscent of traditional mushrooming effects while preserving an impressive retained weight between 85-90%. Such characteristics ensure deep penetration coupled with large wound cavities—an ideal outcome for ethical hunting practices.
