Hornady 3074 ELD-X .308 178 Grain Ammunition

In the world of precision shooting and hunting, excellence is non-negotiable. Enter the Hornady ELD-X bullet—a testament to cutting-edge ballistic technology and relentless innovation. This remarkable projectile stands as a pinnacle of design, offering match-grade accuracy with uncompromised performance across all practical distances.

At its core lies the revolutionary Heat Shield™ tip, crafted from a heat-resistant polymer that defies aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape and integrity throughout flight. Unlike conventional tips that succumb to melting at high velocities, this innovation ensures consistent results by preserving the highest-in-class Ballistic Coefficients (BC) verified by Doppler radar.

The streamlined secant ogive profile paired with an optimal boattail design enhances its aerodynamic efficiency dramatically. Complemented by highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, these features coalesce into superior trajectory stability—an essential quality for any serious marksman or hunter.

Performance is not limited to just reaching your target but also in how it engages upon impact. From zero to 400 yards, expect devastating expansion as the bullet's thin nose peels back while traversing through tissue until it meets resistance from its robust shank and InterLock® ring mechanism—ensuring up to 60% weight retention for deep penetration.

Beyond this range, past the critical threshold of 400 yards where velocity diminishes, the Heat Shield™ tip comes into play again; driving backward into a meticulously engineered cavity to initiate controlled expansion. Herein lies an impressive transformation: forming large mushrooms with retained weights between 85-90%, delivering significant wound channels even under low-speed impacts.

Available both as individual components or factory-loaded Precision Hunter ammunition—Hornady offers versatility tailored precisely for those who demand nothing less than perfection in their craftwork tools whilst ensuring safety remains paramount during reloading practices built on foundations like continuous improvement & unyielding quality standards.

With every shot fired using Hornady’s ELD-X bullets comes assurance—not only will they meet expectations—they’ll redefine them altogether within realms once thought unreachable.
