20rds – 30-06 Federal 178gr. ELD-X Ammo Details

When one legend loads another legend’s bullet, the outcome had better be good. That’s why it satisfies us to declare that Federal Premium’s 30-06 Springfield ammunition loaded with Hornady’s Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding (ELD-X) long-distance hunting bullets is very good indeed!

The ELD-X is perfect for clearing long distances for more reasons than a hound dog has fleas (noting that the particular rhetorical hound dog in question has three fleas). It is heavy at 178 grains, and therefore gains the momentum it needs to resist wind deflection. It features Hornady’s Heat Shield tip, which resists deformation resulting from air friction so it can always increase drag uniformity to the greatest degree. Its Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket is outstandingly concentric, and sleek courtesy of its cannelure-free secant ogive profile. The ELD-X also has a boat tail!

The ELD-X is fortified against core-jacket separation by its InterLock ring, which secures its core to its jacket by physically embedding the latter into the former. That helps the bullet secure no less than 50% weight retention within 400 yards; no less than 85% afterward. The ELD-X reliably initiates terminal expansion at any range, so you can rest assured you’re carrying the right firepower regardless of where your prize manifests itself.
