HORNADY Bullets ELD-X® Bullets 284" 162gr #2840 (100pcs)

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet is technologically advanced, with match accuracy, 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 to make the tips of streamlined bullets with a high ballistic coefficient melt during flight and deform. Although this is not a significant issue with medium ballistic coefficient bullets with traditional hunting tips, aerodynamic heat reduces the ballistic coefficient and decreases accuracy, particularly at long ranges (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, delivering 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 throughout the penetration path. Upon impact, the thin apical section of the bullet
collapses until it reaches 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.
