b' ELD-XThe ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, ALL-RANGE hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at ALL practical hunting distances.All manufacturers conventional polymer tips in high BC bullets melt in flight. Hornady engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined, high BC bullets melt and deform. Although not a significant issue affecting moderate BC conventional tipped varmint and hunting bullets, aerodynamic heating causes BC reduction and degradation of accuracy, particularly at extended ranges (365+ meters). To counter this effect, Hornady identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the Heat Shield tip. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot.At conventional range (0-365 m), the ELD-X bullet is designed to continually expand throughout its penetration path. Upon impact, the thin nose section of the bullet peels back and sheds material until it reaches the thick shank of the bullet jacket where the InterLock ring works to keep the core and jacket together. The remaining heavy shank of the bullet continues to drive forward and expand for extremely lethal results.BEST-IN-CLASS BCsIMPACT VELOCITIES:Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip is immune to30 Cal. 200 gr.the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to(13,0 g) ELD-Xmaintain the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory.MATCH ACCURATE HUNTING BULLETStreamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design811 m/s 549 m/s+ highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.DEVASTATING CONVENTIONAL RANGE PERFORMANCEWith high velocity 0-365 m impact, the bullet continually expands throughout itsPEDRO AMPUEROpenetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50-60% weight retention.BEST EXTENDED RANGE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE AVAILABLEUpon low velocity 365+ meter impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities.ALEX HORNADY54 Bullets hornady.com'
