HORNADY Bullets ELD-X® Bullet 243" 90gr #2441 (100pcs)

The ELD-X (Extremely low drag – eXpanding) bullet is technologically advanced, with match precision, designed for all-around hunting, featuring 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 ogives tapered for high ballistic coefficient melt during flight and deform. Although this is not an issue for medium ballistic coefficient bullets with traditional hunting ogives, aerodynamic heat reduces the ballistic coefficient and decreases accuracy, especially at long distances (over 365 meters). To mitigate this effect, Hornady identified a heat-resistant polymer and developedthe patented Heat Shield tip.This revolutionary tip creates the perfect apex for the bullet, with exceptionally consistent results from bullet to bullet and batch to batch.

At conventional distances (0-365 m), the ELD-X ogive is designed for continuous expansion throughout its path. Upon impact, the bullet's thin apical section
collapses until reaching the thickest part of the jacket, where the Interlock ring operates to hold core and jacket together. The more massive part of the bullet,
then continues its course further facilitating expansion, resulting in extremely high lethality.
