Hornady Precision Hunter .338 Win Mag 230gr ELD-X

Precision Engineering for the Serious Hunter

Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded hunting rounds. Every component—from the propellant to the bullet—has been carefully selected and tested to deliver both accuracy and terminal performance across the full spectrum of hunting scenarios.

The ELD-X Bullet: Innovation in Motion

The heart of Precision Hunter is Hornady's ELD-X bullet, a purpose-built hunting projectile that performs exceptionally from point-blank range to extended distances:

• Heat Shield Tip: A patent-pending design that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains shape throughout flight, preserving the bullet's ballistic coefficient
• Streamlined Design: Secant ogive profile with optimum boattail geometry delivers radically superior aerodynamic efficiency
• AMP Jackets: Highly concentric construction ensures consistent performance and reliable expansion
• Interlock Ring: Works with the thick jacket shank to keep core and jacket together, providing 50-90% weight retention depending on impact velocity

Performance Across All Ranges

At close to moderate ranges (0-400 yards), the ELD-X expands reliably with high velocity impact, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity. At extended ranges (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body, initiating expansion that produces a large mushroom with exceptional weight retention for deep penetration.

Match-Grade Consistency

Precision Hunter ammunition is loaded with clean-burning propellants to uniform capacity, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency regardless of temperature variations. This attention to detail delivers the accuracy and performance uniformity demanded by serious hunters facing diverse conditions.
