In the realm of precision shooting, where accuracy and reliability are paramount, Hornady introduces the ELD-X bullet—a game-changer for discerning marksmen and hunters alike. The .338 caliber 270-grain projectile is engineered with advanced technology to deliver unparalleled performance across all ranges.
At its core, the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet embodies a fusion of design excellence and innovation. Its ballistic coefficient stands at an impressive .757, setting a new standard in aerodynamic efficiency. This high coefficient is maintained throughout its trajectory thanks to the Heat Shield tip—a marvel verified by Doppler radar—which remains unaffected by aerodynamic heating.
The streamlined secant ogive profile pairs seamlessly with an optimized boattail design, ensuring superior flight stability. Additionally, highly concentric AMP bullet jackets contribute to consistent performance shot after shot.
Available as part of Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition line-up, this round offers versatility that adapts to various hunting scenarios effortlessly. Within 0-400 yards—where velocity peaks—the ELD-X exhibits controlled expansion through its entire penetration path. This is facilitated by a robust jacket shank and InterLoc ring which work together to retain 50-60% of the bullet’s weight upon impact.
Beyond 400 yards, where challenges mount due to lower velocities, this remarkable projectile continues to excel. Here again, it demonstrates conventional expansion characteristics with notable mushrooming while retaining up to 85-90% weight—enabling deep penetration and significant wound channels essential for ethical hunting outcomes.
Each box contains 50 rounds crafted meticulously for those who demand nothing but exceptional results from their equipment.
