The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet 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.

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. 

Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. ELD-X bullets are available in factory loaded Precision Hunter Ammunition.

With high velocity 0-400 yard impact the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. 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. Exhibiting conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities.
