When it comes to hunting, precision and performance are paramount. Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition exemplifies these qualities with unmatched accuracy and terminal performance. This factory-loaded ammunition is the result of meticulous engineering by Hornady experts who have crafted superior match-accurate hunting loads.
The centerpiece of this line is the ELD-X bullet, a marvel in ballistic potential. Its design features a patent-pending Heat Shield tip that defies aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape for consistent trajectory over long distances. Verified by Doppler radar, this technology ensures best-in-class ballistic coefficients (BCs), enabling hunters to achieve remarkable shot placement at any range.
Precision Hunter propellants burn cleanly and are loaded to uniform capacity, providing consistent results from one shot to the next regardless of temperature fluctuations—a crucial factor in diverse hunting environments. The streamlined secant ogive profile combined with an optimum boattail design enhances aerodynamic efficiency further complemented by highly concentric AMP bullet jackets.
This ammunition excels both at conventional ranges and beyond. At high velocity impacts within 0-400 yards, the ELD-X bullet expands consistently throughout its penetration path thanks to its thick jacket shank and Interlock ring which ensure 50-60% weight retention.
For extended range shots over 400 yards where velocities decrease, the Heat Shield tip drives back into the core upon impact initiating expansion with substantial mushrooming while retaining an impressive 85-90% weight—delivering deep penetration coupled with significant wound cavities.
Available as component bullets or fully assembled in factory-loaded cartridges, Hornady Precision Hunter stands ready for all your hunting pursuits offering reliable performance across every conceivable scenario.
