Specifications

How the ELD-X Bullet Works

Hornady states that the Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating and holds its shape, so the ballistic coefficient stays high along the whole trajectory. For impacts inside about 400 yards, Hornady says the bullet expands throughout penetration and keeps 50 to 60 percent of its weight. Past 400 yards, the tip drives back into the bullet to start expansion, and Hornady lists 85 to 90 percent retained weight. Those are manufacturer claims, so shot placement and local hunting regulations still matter.
