HORNADY Bullets ELD-X® Bullets 243" 103gr #24550 (100pcs)

The ELD-X (Extremely low drag – eXpanding) bullet is technologically advanced, with match precision, 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 to make the tips of streamlined bullets with high ballistic coefficients 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 developedthe patented Heat shield tip.This revolutionary tip creates the perfect apex for the bullet, with exceptionally consistent results bullet to bullet and lot to lot.

At conventional distances (0-365 m), the ELD-X bullet is designed for continuous expansion along the entire wound channel. Upon impact, the thin apical section of the bullet
collapses until reaching the thickest part of the jacket, where the Interlock ring functions to hold core and jacket together. The more massive part of the bullet,
therefore continues its path further promoting expansion, resulting in extremely high lethality.
