![]() At these lower velocities the ELD-X bullet exhibits conventional expansion characteristics with a large mushroom and high retained weight ensuring deep penetration and large wound cavities.Īvailable as component bullets or in factory loaded ELD-X Precision Hunter ammunition ELD-X bullets are “heavy caliber” and designed for maximum ballistic coefficients the highest levels of accuracy consistency and extreme lethality at ALL practical hunting distances. Upon contact at extended range (400 plus yards) the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the carefully designed nose cavity to begin the expansion process. The remaining heavy shank of the bullet continues to drive forward and expand for extremely lethal results. 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. At conventional range (0-400 yards) the ELD-X bullet is designed to continually expand throughout its penetration path. ![]() I’ve read good things, and I’ve read bad things. Picked up a Christensen MPR in 6.5 PRC and located some factory ELD-X. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot. Because I’ve been a staunch Nosler Accubond fan for a few years now with tons of excellent results. The Hornady 6.5mm 143 Grain ELD-X bullets are specifically designed to ensure proper expansion, even at low velocities, upon contact with the target. To counter this effect Hornady identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the patent pending Heat Shield tip. 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 (400 yds plus). Hornady engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined high BC bullets melt and deform. All manufacturers conventional polymer tips in high BC bullets melt in flight. Exhibiting conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities.The Hornady ELD-X 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. ![]() Upon low-velocity 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield ® tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Best extended range terminal performance available The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ® ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50-60% weight retention. With high velocity 0-400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. Devastating conventional range performance Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP ® bullet jackets + Heat Shield ® tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.ĮLD-X bullets are available in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition. Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield ® tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory.
