Hornady 3076 Bull .308 200 gr ELD-X Ammunition

Hornady ELD-X: The Pinnacle of Precision and Power

The Hornady ELD-X bullet stands as a testament to technological advancement in the world of hunting ammunition. Engineered for match-grade accuracy, this all-range hunting bullet offers the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients, ensuring consistent performance at any practical distance.

At its core lies the revolutionary Heat Shield™ tip, crafted from a heat-resistant polymer that defies aerodynamic heating. Unlike conventional tips that melt mid-flight—compromising both trajectory and impact—the Heat Shield maintains its structure across extended ranges (400 yards plus). This innovation guarantees unmatched consistency from one round to the next.

The streamlined secant ogive design with an optimal boattail enhances aerodynamic efficiency. Coupled with highly concentric AMP™ bullet jackets, these features ensure superior flight characteristics verified by Doppler radar.

A Masterpiece in Controlled Expansion

Upon high-velocity impacts within 0-400 yards, the ELD-X is engineered to expand continuously throughout penetration. Its thin nose section peels back upon contact while retaining material until it reaches the jacket's thick shank where Hornady’s InterLock™ ring binds core and jacket securely together. As a result, hunters can expect 50-60% weight retention for deep penetration and devastating wound channels.

For shots beyond 400 yards, where velocities drop significantly, this bullet remains formidable. The Heat Shield tip initiates expansion by driving backward into its carefully designed cavity producing a large mushroom effect with an impressive retained weight between 85-90%. Such properties ensure substantial penetration alongside expansive wound cavities even at extended distances.
