HORNADY Bullets ELD-X® Bullet 277" 145gr #27356 (100pcs)

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet is technologically advanced, match-precision, designed for all-around hunting, equipped with the highest ballistic coefficient
in its class and capable of controlled expansion at ALL practical hunting distances.

All conventional polymer tips from manufacturers melt during flight. Hornady engineers discovered that all materials used in the tips of tapered high ballistic coefficient bullets melt during flight and deform. Although this is not a significant issue in medium ballistic coefficient bullets with traditional hunting tips, aerodynamic heat reduces the ballistic coefficient and decreases accuracy, especially at long distances (beyond 365 meters). To mitigate this effect, Hornady identified a heat-resistant polymer and developed the patented Heat Shield tip. This revolutionary tip creates the perfect apex for the bullet, with exceptionally consistent results from bullet to bullet and from lot to lot.

At conventional distances (0-365 m), the ELD-X bullet is designed for continuous expansion throughout the wound channel. Upon impact, the thin apical section of the bullet
collapses until it reaches the thicker part of the jacket, where the Interlock ring operates to hold core and jacket together. The more massive part of the bullet,
therefore, continues its course further facilitating expansion, achieving extremely high lethality results.
