Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm WSM 162gr ELD-X 20 Rounds
Product Description
For hunters seeking unparalleled accuracy and consistent terminal performance from their 7mm WSM, the Hornady Precision Hunter 162gr ELD-X ammunition delivers. Engineered to excel across all practical distances, this premium cartridge combines match-grade precision with reliable expansion, making it the ideal choice for diverse outdoor hunting and sporting environments. Experience the confidence that comes with highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and dependable performance with every shot of this 7mm WSM ammo.
At the core of the Hornady Precision Hunter series is the revolutionary ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet, featuring Hornady's innovative Heat Shield Tip Technology. Traditional polymer tips can melt and deform due to aerodynamic heating during flight, compromising ballistic coefficients and accuracy, especially beyond 400 yards. The Heat Shield tip, crafted from a heat-resistant polymer, maintains its perfect meplat with exceptional consistency. This ensures the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients are preserved throughout the bullet's entire trajectory, delivering superior aerodynamic efficiency and precision accuracy.
This advanced design translates to unrivalled terminal performance across all hunting distances. Whether engaging game at close quarters or across vast open landscapes, the ELD-X bullet ensures optimal expansion and weight retention for ethical and effective results. The ELD-X bullet's unique construction provides consistent, devastating performance tailored to different impact velocities:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Devastating Conventional Range Performance (0-400 Yards) | At high velocities typical of 0-400 yard impacts, the ELD-X bullet expands continuously throughout its penetration path. The thin nose section peels back and sheds material until it reaches the robust shank, where the InterLock ring works to keep the core and jacket together. The remaining heavy shank continues to drive forward and expand, providing 50-60% weight retention for effective energy transfer. |
| Best Extended Range Terminal Performance (400+ Yards) | For lower velocity impacts at 400+ yards, the Heat Shield tip is driven backward into the carefully designed nose cavity, initiating reliable expansion. At these longer distances, the ELD-X bullet exhibits controlled expansion with a large mushroom and impressive 85-90% retained weight, ensuring deep penetration and substantial wound cavities. |
- Best-in-Class Ballistic Coefficients: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip maintains its shape, defying aerodynamic heating to ensure the highest in-class BC over its entire trajectory, reducing wind drift and bullet drop.
- Match-Accurate Hunting Bullet: A streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, and the Heat Shield tip combine for superior aerodynamic efficiency and precision accuracy, making it a top choice for discerning hunters.
- Versatile Application: Available as component bullets for reloaders or in factory-loaded Hornady Precision Hunter cartridges, these bullets are crafted for maximum ballistic coefficients, exceptional accuracy, consistency, and effective performance at all practical hunting distances. These are ideal 7mm ELD-X bullets for serious hunters.
