Hornady Precision Hunter 308 Win 178 Grain ELD-X

Overview

The Hornady Precision Hunter 308 Win 178 Grain ELD-X ammunition is designed for hunting with exceptional accuracy and terminal performance. It uses the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet, which combines the latest bullet technology to provide unparalleled performance.

Bullet Features

The ELD-X bullet is engineered for hunting, with a streamlined secant ogive and optimum boattail design. These features, combined with highly concentric AMP bullet jackets and the Heat Shield tip, enhance aerodynamic efficiency, ensuring the bullet maintains its shape and retains its ballistic coefficient over its entire trajectory. This results in accurate shots at all practical ranges.

Terminal Performance

The ELD-X bullet is designed to provide devastating performance at conventional ranges (0-400 yards) and exceptional terminal performance at extended ranges (400+ yards). At low velocity impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet, initiating expansion. This controlled expansion results in a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight, providing deep penetration and large cavities.
