Hornady Precision Hunter .28 Nosler 162gr ELD-X 20 Rounds
Product Description
The Hornady Precision Hunter .28 Nosler 162gr ELD-X ammunition sets a new standard for accuracy and terminal performance in the field. Ideal for hunters seeking reliable results on medium to large game, this .28 Nosler calibre ammunition delivers consistent expansion across all practical hunting distances.
At the core of this ammunition is the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet, a technologically advanced, match-accurate projectile designed for exceptional performance. Hornady engineers developed the innovative Heat Shield tip to counteract the aerodynamic heating that can deform traditional polymer tips in high ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets. This revolutionary heat-resistant polymer tip maintains its perfect meplat, ensuring consistent results and preserving the highest-in-class BC throughout its entire trajectory, as verified by Doppler radar.
The ELD-X bullet is engineered for devastating performance:
- Conventional Range Performance (0-400 yards): At high velocities, the bullet continually expands through its penetration path. The thin nose section peels back and sheds material until it reaches the thick shank of the bullet jacket, where the InterLock ring works to keep the core and jacket together. The remaining heavy shank drives forward, providing 50-60% weight retention for highly effective results.
- Extended Range Performance (400+ yards): At lower velocities, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the carefully designed nose cavity to initiate expansion. The ELD-X bullet exhibits conventional expansion characteristics with a large mushroom and high retained weight, ensuring 85-90% weight retention for deep penetration and large wound cavities.
This match-accurate hunting bullet features a streamlined secant ogive with an optimum boattail design, combined with highly concentric AMP bullet jackets and the Heat Shield tip, all contributing to superior aerodynamic efficiency. Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition is available as component bullets for reloaders or in factory-loaded form, utilising high-quality reloadable brass cases.
