Experience superior accuracy and terminal performance with Hornady Precision Hunter 300 PRC 212gr ELD-X ammunition. The 300 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) was intelligently designed from the ground up, featuring a non-belted case and a 30-degree shoulder, meticulously engineered to work in harmony with modern rifle chambers. This design optimises cartridge alignment and allows for the use of long, heavy-for-calibre projectiles, ensuring exceptional aerodynamic performance and consistent velocity for hunters seeking precision at all practical ranges.

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match-accurate hunting bullet, offering highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion. Hornady engineers developed the revolutionary Heat Shield tip to counter the effects of aerodynamic heating, which can cause conventional polymer tips to melt and deform in flight. This innovative tip retains its shape, maintaining a consistent ballistic coefficient and ensuring superior accuracy, particularly at extended ranges (400 yards and beyond).

At conventional ranges (0-400 yards), the ELD-X bullet is engineered for continuous expansion throughout its penetration path. Upon impact, 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 continues to drive forward and expand for highly effective results.

For extended range impacts (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the carefully designed nose cavity to begin the expansion process. At these lower velocities, the ELD-X bullet exhibits conventional expansion characteristics with a large mushroom and high retained weight (85-90%), ensuring deep penetration and effective wound channels.

Available as component bullets or in factory-loaded Hornady Precision Hunter 300 PRC ammunition, ELD-X bullets are designed for maximum ballistic coefficients, the highest levels of accuracy, consistency, and reliable effectiveness at all practical hunting distances.

Key Features:

• Best-in-Class Ballistic Coefficients: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip maintains its shape and the highest in-class BC over its entire trajectory.
• Match-Accurate Hunting Bullet: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boat-tail design, highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, and the Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
• Exceptional Conventional Range Performance: With high velocity, 0-400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring provide 50-60% weight retention.
• Superior Extended Range Terminal Performance: Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip initiates expansion, resulting in a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight for deep penetration and effective wound channels.
