The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) is a technologically advanced, match-accurate, all-range hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances. This .25 caliber (.257 diameter) offering delivers 128 grains of precision-engineered performance, ideal for custom reloaders seeking match-grade ammunition components.
The Heat Shield® tip is immune to aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain highest-in-class ballistic coefficient over its entire trajectory, while the streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design and highly concentric AMP® jacket combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. A thin jacket at the tip initiates expansion, while a thicker jacket at the base combined with the Interlock® ring keeps the core and jacket together and controls expansion for optimum weight retention and deep penetration.
With high velocity 0-400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path, while the thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock® ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50-60% weight retention. Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you plenty of rounds to develop precision loads for extended-range hunting applications.
