For hunters seeking unparalleled accuracy and consistent performance across all distances, the Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm Rem Mag 162gr ELD-X ammunition delivers. This advanced centre fire rifle ammunition is engineered with the revolutionary ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet, designed to provide superior ballistic coefficients and reliable expansion, from close encounters to extended long-range shots. The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm Rem Mag line, featuring the 7mm Rem Mag ELD-X projectile, is a top choice for serious hunters.

The core of the ELD-X bullet's performance lies in its innovative Heat Shield tip. Hornady engineers identified that traditional polymer tips deform under aerodynamic heating during flight, compromising ballistic coefficient (BC) and accuracy, particularly beyond 400 yards. The Heat Shield tip, crafted from a heat-resistant polymer, maintains its perfect meplat and shape, ensuring the highest in-class BC throughout its entire trajectory. This exceptional consistency has been rigorously verified by Doppler radar, giving hunters confidence in every shot.

At conventional hunting ranges (0-400 yards), the ELD-X bullet is engineered for controlled, continuous expansion. Upon impact, the thin nose section initiates expansion and sheds material, transferring energy effectively. As the bullet penetrates, the robust shank and internal InterLock ring work in unison to retain the core and jacket, ensuring deep penetration and approximately 50-60% weight retention for effective results.

When engaging targets at extended ranges (400+ yards) where velocities are lower, the Heat Shield tip plays a crucial role by driving backward into the bullet's carefully designed nose cavity to initiate expansion. Under these conditions, the ELD-X bullet exhibits reliable, conventional expansion with a large mushroom and impressive 85-90% retained weight. This ensures deep penetration and substantial wound cavities, making it an ideal choice for ethical long-range hunting.

Key Features:

• Best-in-Class Ballistic Coefficients: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies aerodynamic heating effects, retaining its shape to maintain the highest in-class BC over its entire trajectory.
• Match-Accurate Hunting Bullet: A streamlined secant ogive with an optimum boattail design, combined with highly concentric AMP bullet jackets and the Heat Shield tip, results in radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
• Effective 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 keep the core and jacket together, providing 50-60% weight retention.
• Optimal Extended Range Terminal Performance: Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities.
