The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, all-range hunting projectile designed to deliver consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances. Featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients, these 6.5mm projectiles ensure superior performance whether at conventional or extended ranges.

Hornady engineers, utilising state-of-the-art aeroballistics software, Doppler radar, and decades of bullet performance knowledge, developed the ELD-X with the revolutionary Heat Shield® tip. This innovation ensures that the tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating, retaining its shape to maintain the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient throughout its entire trajectory. This means you can extend your range without compromising on performance for your hunting and sporting pursuits.

• Best-in-Class Ballistic Coefficients (BCs): Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip maintains its shape, ensuring superior BCs over the entire trajectory.
• Match Accurate Hunting Projectile: A streamlined secant ogive with an optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, and the Heat Shield® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency and precision, ideal for hunting and target shooting.
• Conventional Range Performance (0-400 yards): With high-velocity impacts, the bullet expands consistently 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 for effective energy transfer.
• Extended Range Terminal Performance (400+ yards): Upon low-velocity impacts, the Heat Shield® tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. This results in conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight, offering deep penetration and large wound cavities for humane hunting.
