Hornady Precision Hunter .300 WSM 200gr ELD-X 20 Rounds
Product Description
For serious hunters seeking unparalleled performance from their .300 WSM rifle, the Hornady Precision Hunter .300 WSM 200gr ELD-X offers exceptional results across all practical hunting distances. This premium .300 WSM is engineered with the technologically advanced ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet, delivering highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion for reliable hunting in diverse conditions.
Hornady engineers identified a critical issue with traditional polymer tips in streamlined, high ballistic coefficient bullets: they can melt and deform in flight due to aerodynamic heating. This phenomenon reduces ballistic coefficient and compromises accuracy, especially at extended ranges beyond 400 yards. To overcome this, Hornady developed the revolutionary Heat Shield tip. Crafted from a heat-resistant polymer, this innovative tip maintains a perfect meplat (tip) with exceptional consistency from bullet to bullet and lot to lot, guaranteeing superior accuracy for every shot.
Performance at Conventional Range (0-400 yards)
At conventional hunting distances, the ELD-X bullet is engineered for continuous, controlled 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 of the bullet continues to drive forward and expand, ensuring effective and reliable results on game.
Performance at Extended Range (400+ yards)
Upon contact at extended ranges, where velocities are lower, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the carefully designed nose cavity to initiate the expansion process. At these lower velocities, the ELD-X bullet exhibits conventional expansion characteristics with a large mushroom and high retained weight, ensuring deep penetration and large wound cavities for humane harvesting.
Overall, ELD-X bullets are meticulously designed for maximum ballistic coefficients, the highest levels of accuracy, consistency, and reliable terminal performance across all practical hunting distances. This makes Hornady Precision Hunter .300 WSM 200gr ELD-X a top choice for discerning hunters.
