20rds – 300 Win Mag Hornady Precision Hunter 178gr. ELD-X Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 178 Grain ELD-X Ammo Details

Here we have the 300 Win Mag from Hornady’s Precision Hunter line of ammunition. It is the cartridge hunters look to when they need to direct absolute hot death at deer and elk with tack driving precision.

This round’s 178 grain ELD-X bullet does indeed boast that combination of match grade accuracy and devastating terminal performance. Hornady didn’t skip an opportunity to flatten its trajectory. The ELD-X’s voidless lead core and AMP jacket keep it stable in flight. Its secant ogive profile and boat tail raise its ballistic coefficient substantially. The ELD-X’s Heat Shield polymer tip sharpens its ballistic coefficient even higher to .278 (G7), ensuring the bullet carries over 1,800 ft lbs of energy at 500 yards. True to its name, the Heat Shield shrugs off aerodynamic friction so that it can remain a sharp, balanced, and aerodynamic meplat – revolutionary stuff!

The ELD-X also features Hornady’s InterLock ring, which extends and embeds the AMP jacket into the core. This promotes superior weight retention even at higher velocities. But as the ELD-X starts finding targets at the 400 yard range, its Heat Shield tip can reliably initiate massive terminal expansion accompanied by as much as 90 percent weight retention.

A Precision Hunter round invariably showcases Hornady’s best brass work, and its primer and propellant come together to deliver interchangeable performance with every shot fired. Our friends in Nebraska have inspected every round in this box of 20 by hand, making certain each truly deserves to be named a Precision Hunter.
