Hornady Bullets .338 17,5g/270grs. ELD-X

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) offers match precision in a hunting bullet that is effective at all practical hunting distances. The Heat Shield tip not only contributes to a high ballistic coefficient and precision, but also provides reliable, controlled expansion for hunting-friendly action at all practical hunting distances.

Best BC values in this class

Verified by Doppler radar technology, the Heat Shield tips are protected from the effects of aerodynamic overheating, maintaining high BC values throughout the trajectory.

Hunting bullets with match precision

The streamlined secant-ogive shape with the optimal boattail design and in combination with the extremely concentric AMP jacket and the heat shield tip result in the highest degree of aerodynamic efficiency.

Stunning performance at all distances

Even at high speeds, the projectile expands in a controlled manner at distances between 0 and 365 m. The thicker part of the jacket and the InterLock ring hold the core and jacket together with a residual weight of 50-60%.

Best target ballistics over long distances

The impact at lower velocities at over 1,200 feet drives the Heat Shield tip into the bullet, initiating expansion. Together with the typical 85-90% remaining weight, this ensures reliable response with good depth effect.
