Hornady ELD-X 30 Cal (.308 Dia.) 178 Gr Bullets Box of 100

The ELD-X^® (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, ALL-RANGE hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at ALL practical hunting distances.

Hornady ELD-X utilizes a heat resistant polymer and specially designed tip that will not melt or deform in flight, unlike other manufacturers. This produces exceptionally consistent results in a bullet with the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient. The bullet is designed for deep penetration combined with maximum expansion and weight retention producing a large wound cavity. Accurate, consistent and lethal, ELD-X bullets are ideal for all practical hunting distances.

NOTE: these are component projectiles for reloading, not complete ready-to-fire ammunition.

FEATURES:

Best-in-class BCs
Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory.

Match accurate hunting bullet
Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets + Heat Shield® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. ELD-X bullets are available in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.

Devastating conventional range performance
With high velocity 0-400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock® ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50-60% weight retention.

Best extended range terminal performance available
Upon low-velocity 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield® tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities.
