Hornady ELD-X 6.5mm (.264 Dia.) 143 Gr Bullets Box of 100

Hornady presents their brand new cutting edge long range shooting bullet, the Extremely Low Drag-eXpanding or simply ELD-X. Designed out of a necessity to replace commonly used polymer tips that have lower melting points which deform in flight and greatly affects accuracy at extended ranges, the ELD-X features Heat Shield technology. These brand new tips retains its shape and the highest in-class BC throughout its entire trajectory. Not only does it provide excellent accuracy but also excellent ballistics. Upon impact the Heat Shield tip is driven backwards that causes the projectile to have a large expansion that retains 85-90% of its weight while inflicting deep penetration and large wound cavities. Bottom line the ELD-X is the answer to the hunter or target shooter looking to connect with long range targets with the upmost accuracy.

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.
