The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet represents the pinnacle of modern ammunition technology, designed for hunters demanding precision and performance at all practical distances. This ammunition is crafted with a focus on high ballistic efficiency and consistent controlled expansion.
At its core, the Heat Shield tip is verified by Doppler radar to be immune to aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape throughout flight. This ensures that the projectile retains its highest-in-class Ballistic Coefficient (.465), providing superior accuracy across any range you may encounter in your hunting pursuits.
The streamlined secant ogive profile combined with an optimal boattail design promotes exceptional aerodynamics. Complemented by highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, this construction results in radical aerodynamic efficiency that translates into reliable long-range performance.
Upon impact within 0-400 yards, expect continual expansion as the bullet penetrates deeply while retaining 50-60% of its weight thanks to a thick jacket shank and robust InterLock ring securing core integrity. For impacts beyond 400 yards where velocity decreases, the innovative Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body initiating controlled expansion—producing a large mushroom effect with impressive penetration depth and up to 85-90% retained weight.
This match-grade hunting round is available factory-loaded in Precision Hunter ammunition series—crafted for those who demand nothing less than peak performance from their equipment when facing real-world challenges afield.
