Hornady ELD-X Bullet: Precision and Power for the Discerning Marksman
The Hornady ELD-X bullet stands as a testament to engineering excellence in the realm of modern ballistics. Designed for those who demand precision at all ranges, this advanced projectile offers unparalleled performance through its innovative features.
Aerodynamic Superiority
At the heart of the ELD-X's design is its Heat Shield tip, a revolutionary advancement that defies aerodynamic heating. While other polymer tips may succumb to heat deformation during flight, Hornady's proprietary material maintains its shape, ensuring consistent ballistic coefficients (BC) throughout trajectory. This means you can trust your shot placement even at extended distances.
Engineered Expansion
The streamlined secant ogive profile coupled with an optimized boattail design enhances stability and accuracy from muzzle to target. Upon impact within 0-400 yards, expect continuous expansion along the penetration path due to its meticulously crafted structure. The thin nose peels back upon contact while maintaining integrity thanks to a thick shank and InterLock ring which keep core and jacket united—resulting in 50-60% weight retention.
Lethality Beyond Distance
For shots extending beyond 400 yards, where velocity decreases significantly, the Heat Shield tip initiates reliable expansion by driving backward into a specially designed cavity. Herein lies conventional mushrooming characteristics with an impressive retained weight of 85-90%, ensuring deep penetration alongside substantial wound cavities—a crucial factor when hunting large game.
