HORNADY Bullets ELD-X® Bullets 308" 200gr #3076 (100pcs)

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet is technologically advanced, match-grade 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 to make the tips of tapered bullets with a high ballistic coefficient melt during flight and deform. Although this is not an issue for traditional hunting bullets with medium ballistic coefficients, 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 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 apex 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 bulkier part of the bullet,
then continues its path further aiding expansion, resulting in extremely high lethality.
