The Hornady Precision Hunter .270 Win 145gr ELD-X ammunition delivers exceptional performance for hunters targeting game across various distances. Engineered for precision and reliable expansion, this ammunition is a top choice for those seeking consistent results in the field.

At the core of the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - Expanding) bullet is Hornady's innovative Heat Shield Tip. Traditional polymer tips can deform from aerodynamic heating during flight, leading to reduced ballistic coefficients and compromised accuracy, particularly at extended ranges. The Heat Shield Tip, crafted from a heat-resistant polymer, maintains its perfect meplat, ensuring consistent ballistic coefficients and superior accuracy throughout the bullet's trajectory.

• Conventional Range (0-400 yards): Upon high-velocity impact, the bullet expands continuously through its penetration path. The thin nose section peels back, shedding material until it reaches the robust shank and the InterLock ring, which works to keep the core and jacket together. This design ensures significant energy transfer and typically results in 50-60% weight retention.
• Extended Range (400+ yards): At lower velocities, the Heat Shield Tip initiates expansion by driving back into the nose cavity. This controlled expansion produces a large mushroom and high retained weight, generally 85-90%, ensuring deep penetration and effective wound channels.

Beyond its terminal performance, the ELD-X bullet is a match-accurate hunting projectile. Its streamlined secant ogive, optimised boattail design, and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets combine with the Heat Shield Tip to provide superior aerodynamic efficiency and outstanding accuracy, shot after shot.
