Bullet Information

Hornady® ELD-X®
The ELD-X® is a match accurate hunting bullet designed for long range terminal performance. The Heat Shield® tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory. This Heat Shield® tip helps initiate a consistent, controlled bullet expansion even at lower velocities. A streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets + Heat Shield® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.

• Bullet Weight – 220 gr.
