Product Description
Extend your range and never compromise at any distance with Hornady ELD-X 7mm .284" 162gr Projectiles. The ELD-X® (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match-accurate, all-range hunting projectile, perfect for reloaders seeking superior performance. These 7mm ELD-X projectiles feature highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances, making them ideal for a wide range of outdoor and sporting applications.
Key features of the Hornady ELD-X 162gr 7mm projectiles include:
- Best-in-Class Ballistic Coefficients (BCs): Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape. This maintains the highest-in-class BC over the entire trajectory, ensuring exceptional long-range accuracy for your 7mm ELD-X bullets.
- Match-Accurate Hunting Projectile: A streamlined secant ogive with an optimum boat-tail design, highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, and the Heat Shield® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. This results in a match-accurate hunting bullet, ideal for precision shooting and hunting.
- Devastating Conventional Range Performance: With high-velocity 0-400 yard impacts, 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, crucial for ethical hunting at extended distances.
Heat Shield® Technology: In 2012, Hornady engineers set out to create a new hunting bullet that performed exceptionally at all practical distances. While many bullets excel from 0-400 yards, and a few beyond that, none effectively combined performance across both conventional and extended ranges.
Introducing the Heat Shield® Tip: One Tip, Two Bullets! Hornady engineers, utilising state-of-the-art aeroballistics software, Doppler radar, and decades of bullet performance knowledge, developed an entirely new class of projectile. This innovative Heat Shield® tip allows you to extend your range without compromising performance at any distance, making these Hornady 162gr ELD-X projectiles a top choice for serious hunters and reloaders.
