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 .30 caliber load comes in 200 grains with a boat tail design, 100 per box, and features a recommended twist rate of 1 in 10″ with a G1 BC of 0.597.
Verified by Doppler radar, 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, while the streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, and Heat Shield® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. With high velocity 0-400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path, and the thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock® ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50-60% weight retention.
Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. These premium reloading bullets are ideal for precision shooters and hunters seeking match-grade components that deliver consistent performance across extended ranges.
