Hornady 2840 ELD-X 7mm .284 162 Grain Ballistic Tip, 100 Count

In the world of precision shooting and hunting, Hornady stands as a paragon of excellence. Their relentless pursuit of quality and innovation in reloading has established them as leaders in the field. The Hornady ELD-X™ (Extremely Low Drag) bullet exemplifies this commitment, offering shooters an unparalleled combination of accuracy, consistency, and lethality.

The ELD-X™ is designed to meet the rigorous demands of both target shooting enthusiasts and hunters alike. At its core lies the Heat Shield™ tip—a marvel verified by Doppler radar—resistant to aerodynamic heating that maintains its form through all stages of flight. This results in superior ballistic coefficients; specifically, a G1 BC of .613 and a G7 BC of .308.

This 7mm projectile boasts a diameter of .284 inches with a weighty 162 grains, ensuring deep penetration coupled with devastating expansion on impact. Its streamlined secant ogive profile paired with an optimal boattail design enhances aerodynamics considerably. Meanwhile, highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets work harmoniously with the Heat Shield™ tip for maximum efficiency across various ranges.

For high-velocity impacts within 0-400 yards, expect continual expansion along its path due to its thick jacket shank combined with an InterLock® ring that ensures core-jacket unity—yielding up to 60% weight retention even after significant penetration. Beyond 400 yards at lower velocities? Rest assured—the Heat Shield™ tip initiates expansion into large mushrooms retaining between 85-90% original mass while carving substantial wound channels through game tissue.

The versatility doesn't end there: available either as component bullets or pre-loaded Precision Hunter™ ammunition from factory settings assures adaptability tailored precisely towards personal preferences whether hand-loading aficionados or those preferring ready-to-use solutions straight out-of-the-box.

With such meticulous engineering behind every round produced under their banner—and bolstered by continuous advancements—you can trust Hornady’s offerings will consistently deliver performance exceeding expectations whenever called upon during critical moments afield or at competition bench-rests alike!
