Hornady ELD-X .338 Caliber 230 Grain Ammunition
The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a testament to modern ballistic engineering, offering hunters precision and performance across all ranges. Designed for the discerning marksman, this .338 caliber projectile boasts an impressive 230 grains of match-grade accuracy.
At the heart of its design lies a Heat Shield tip, verified by Doppler radar to resist aerodynamic heating. This ensures that it maintains its form throughout flight, supporting a top-tier Ballistic Coefficient of .616. Such superior aerodynamics are achieved through a streamlined secant ogive profile and optimal boattail configuration.
The ELD-X's AMP bullet jackets further enhance concentricity and stability in flight. When paired with Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition line, these bullets deliver unparalleled consistency at any practical hunting distance.
In high-velocity impacts from 0 to 400 yards, expect continuous expansion along the penetration path due to the robust shank and InterLock ring maintaining core-jacket integrity with up to 60% weight retention. Beyond 400 yards at lower velocities, the Heat Shield tip ingeniously drives backward into the bullet base initiating traditional mushrooming expansion while retaining up to 90% of its weight.
This remarkable balance results in deep penetration and substantial wound channels—traits vital for ethical hunting outcomes. Each box contains 100 rounds ready for action-packed expeditions or meticulous target practice sessions alike.
