HORNADY Bullets ELD-X® Bullets 338" 270gr #33371 (50pcs)

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 ranges.

All conventional polymer tips from manufacturers melt during flight. Hornady engineers discovered that all materials used to make the tips of streamlined high ballistic coefficient bullets melt during flight and deform. Although this is not an issue for medium ballistic coefficient bullets with traditional hunting tips, aerodynamic heat reduces the ballistic coefficient and decreases accuracy, especially at long ranges (beyond 365 meters). To mitigate this effect, Hornady identified a heat-resistant polymer and developed the 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 bullet is designed for continuous expansion throughout the wound channel. Upon impact, the thin apical section of the bullet
collapses until it reaches the thicker portion of the jacket, where the Interlock ring operates to hold core and jacket together. The heavier part of the bullet,
then continues its path further enabling expansion, with results of very high lethality.
