Product Description


The Hornady Precision Hunter .308 Win 178gr ELD-X 20 Rounds ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and consistent terminal performance for hunters across diverse hunting conditions. This factory-loaded ammunition features the advanced ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet, designed to perform flawlessly from conventional to extended ranges.

The ELD-X Advantage: Heat Shield® Tip Technology

Hornady engineers developed the revolutionary Heat Shield® tip to overcome the limitations of traditional polymer tips, which can deform due to aerodynamic heating during flight. This heat-resistant tip maintains its perfect meplat shape, ensuring the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients (BCs) and unparalleled consistency from shot to shot. Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip ensures superior aerodynamic efficiency and precision throughout the entire trajectory, making the Hornady ELD-X .308 a top choice for serious hunters.

Consistent Performance Across All Hunting Distances

The ELD-X bullet is engineered for reliable expansion and deep penetration, regardless of impact velocity. This makes the Hornady Precision Hunter 178gr ELD-X ideal for a wide array of game and hunting scenarios.

Conventional Range Performance (0-400 yards)
  • Upon high-velocity impact, the ELD-X bullet initiates continuous expansion through its penetration path.
  • The thin nose section peels back, shedding material until it reaches the robust shank of the bullet jacket.
  • An InterLock® ring securely binds the core and jacket, ensuring the heavy shank drives forward with controlled expansion.
  • Expect 50-60% weight retention, providing dependable performance on game at closer ranges.
Extended Range Performance (400+ yards)
  • At lower velocities encountered at extended distances, the Heat Shield® tip is driven backward into the specially designed nose cavity, initiating expansion.
  • The ELD-X bullet exhibits conventional expansion characteristics, forming a large mushroom.
  • It retains 85-90% of its weight, ensuring deep penetration and creating large wound cavities for consistent results on distant game.
Key Features of Hornady Precision Hunter Ammunition
  • Best-in-Class BCs: Doppler radar verified Heat Shield® tip maintains shape for superior ballistic coefficients.
  • Match-Accurate Hunting Bullet: Streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail design, and highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets combine for radical aerodynamic efficiency and precision.
  • Versatile Performance: Engineered for consistent expansion and penetration from 0 to 400+ yards.
  • Reliable Terminal Performance: Controlled expansion and high weight retention ensure ethical and effective results on game.

Whether you're reloading with ELD-X component bullets or using factory-loaded Hornady Precision Hunter .308 Win 178gr ELD-X ammunition, these bullets are crafted for maximum ballistic coefficients, superior accuracy, and consistency. They are perfectly suited for the demands of long-range hunting and precision shooting, offering the reliability you need in the field.
