HORNADY Eld-X® Bullets 338" 230gr #33210 (100pcs)

The ELD-X (Extremely low drag – eXpanding) bullet is technologically advanced, with 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 used by manufacturers melt during flight. Hornady engineers discovered that all materials used for the tips of streamlined bullets with high ballistic coefficients melt and deform during flight. Although this is not a significant issue in medium ballistic coefficient bullets with traditional hunting profiles, 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 lot to lot.

At conventional distances (0-365 m), the ELD-X profile is designed for continuous expansion throughout its 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 the core and jacket together. The more massive part of the bullet,
therefore, continues its trajectory further facilitating expansion, resulting in very high lethality.
