The Hornady ELD-X® bullet stands as a testament to modern ballistic innovation, crafted for hunters who demand nothing less than excellence. This technologically advanced projectile is engineered to deliver match-grade accuracy across all practical hunting distances, making it an indispensable tool in the hunter's arsenal.
At the heart of its design lies the revolutionary Heat Shield tip. Through rigorous testing verified by Doppler radar, Hornady has ensured that this tip defies aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape and optimizing ballistic efficiency over long trajectories. Unlike conventional polymer tips that succumb to high-speed melting, the Heat Shield tip preserves the bullet’s integrity even at extended ranges beyond 400 yards.
The streamlined secant ogive combined with an optimal boattail design enhances its flight characteristics further. Complemented by highly concentric AMP bullet jackets and InterLock technology, these bullets offer radically superior aerodynamics. With a ballistic coefficient of .574—highest in class—the ELD-X® ensures minimal drag and maximal energy transfer upon impact.
This 7mm (.284 caliber) 150-grain marvel is designed for controlled expansion from zero to over four hundred yards. At closer ranges (0-400 yards), expect continuous expansion throughout penetration thanks to a meticulously engineered nose section which peels back on impact before reaching the robust shank reinforced by an InterLock ring—a feature ensuring core-jacket unity with impressive weight retention between 50-60%.
For longer shots exceeding four hundred yards where velocity wanes, witness how expertly this bullet adapts: The Heat Shield tip initiates deep-seated expansion creating a significant mushroom effect while retaining up to 85-90% weight—guaranteeing profound penetration and expansive wound channels every time it meets game flesh.
Select Hornady’s factory-loaded Precision Hunter ammunition or opt for component bullets—you’ll experience unparalleled consistency shot after shot regardless of distance or conditions faced afield because when precision counts most...the choice is clear: trust only those designs born from relentless pursuit toward perfection itself!
