Product Description
The Hornady ELD-X® (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match-accurate hunting projectile designed for consistent, controlled expansion across all practical hunting distances. Featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients, the ELD-X allows hunters to extend their effective range without compromising performance.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Best-in-Class Ballistic Coefficients | Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip is immune to aerodynamic heating, retaining its shape to maintain the highest-in-class BC throughout its entire trajectory. |
| Match-Accurate Hunting Bullet | 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. |
| Devastating Conventional Range Performance (0-400 yards) | With high-velocity impacts, the bullet continually expands through its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and a high InterLock® ring keep the core and jacket together, providing 50-60% weight retention. |
| Best Extended Range Terminal Performance Available (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. |
In 2012, Hornady engineers set out to create a new hunting bullet that performed exceptionally well across all practical distances. While many bullets perform well from 0-400 yards, few excel beyond that, and even fewer perform effectively at both conventional and extended ranges. The innovative Heat Shield® tip was developed to address this challenge. Using state-of-the-art aeroballistics software, Doppler radar, and decades of bullet performance knowledge, Hornady engineers created an entirely new class of bullet, ensuring hunters never have to compromise on performance, regardless of distance.
