Hornady ELD-X 7mm .284 175gr Hunting Bullets

Hornady ELD-X: Advanced Long-Range Hunting Performance

The Hornady ELD-X represents a significant advancement in hunting bullet technology. Designed as a true all-range hunting solution, these 175-grain bullets deliver match-grade accuracy with controlled expansion at every practical hunting distance.

Superior Aerodynamic Design

Heat Shield Technology — Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip is immune to aerodynamic heating that degrades conventional polymer tips at extended ranges. This innovation maintains the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout its entire trajectory, preserving accuracy and velocity retention beyond 400 yards.

Optimized Ballistic Profile — The streamlined secant ogive combined with an optimum boattail design and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets creates exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. These 175-grain bullets achieve a G1 ballistic coefficient of .660 and G7 coefficient of .330, among the highest in their class.

Consistent Expansion at All Ranges

Close-Range Performance (0-400 yards) — At conventional hunting velocities, the thin nose section peels back progressively, shedding material until reaching the thick jacket shank. The InterLock ring keeps core and jacket together, ensuring 50-60% weight retention and deep penetration with devastating wound cavities.

Extended-Range Performance (400+ yards) — At lower impact velocities, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the nose cavity, initiating controlled expansion. The bullet exhibits conventional mushroom formation with 85-90% weight retention, providing the deep penetration necessary for ethical long-range hunting.
