Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm STW 162gr ELD-X
Hornady's Precision Hunter 7mm STW ammunition delivers 162-grain ELD-X bullets at 3050 fps with best-in-class ballistic coefficient and match-accurate performance from close range to extended distances.
Precision Engineering for the Serious Hunter
Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded hunting rounds, combining meticulous engineering with real-world terminal performance. Every round is developed by Hornady's ballistics team to maximize the potential of the ELD-X bullet across the full spectrum of hunting scenarios.
Superior Aerodynamic Design
The ELD-X bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout the entire flight path. This innovation, verified by Doppler radar, delivers the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient available. The streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail design, and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets work in concert to achieve radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
Devastating Performance Across All Ranges
Close to Medium Range (0-400 yards): The 162-grain projectile launches at 3050 fps with continuous expansion throughout its penetration path. The thick jacket shank and InterLock ring keep the core and jacket bonded together, delivering 50-60% weight retention for deep, reliable penetration.
Extended Range (400+ yards): At lower impact velocities, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body to initiate controlled expansion. The result is a large mushroom with 85-90% weight retention, providing deep penetration and exceptional wound cavities even at distance.
Match-Accurate Hunting Loads
Each box contains 20 rounds of ammunition loaded to exacting specifications. The combination of premium components and careful quality control ensures the accuracy and consistency demanded by serious hunters who understand that precision matters.
