Hornady ELD-X 6mm .243 90 Grain Hunting Bullets
Hornady's ELD-X bullets combine match-grade accuracy with controlled expansion at all hunting ranges. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating while maintaining superior ballistic coefficient, delivering 50-60% weight retention and deep penetration.
Hornady ELD-X: Advanced Long-Range Hunting Performance
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) represents a significant advancement in hunting bullet technology. Hornady engineered these projectiles to deliver match-grade accuracy combined with reliable, controlled expansion across the full spectrum of practical hunting distances.
Key Features
- Heat Shield Tip: Verified by Doppler radar to resist aerodynamic heating and maintain shape throughout flight, preserving ballistic coefficient from muzzle to target
- Superior Aerodynamics: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets for radically improved ballistic efficiency
- Ballistic Coefficient: .206 for excellent long-range performance and wind resistance
- Controlled Expansion: Thick jacket shank and high InterLock ring keep core and jacket together
Performance at All Ranges
High-Velocity Impact (0-400 yards): The bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path, creating large wound cavities while maintaining structural integrity.
Low-Velocity Impact (400+ yards): The Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body to initiate expansion, delivering conventional mushroom formation with 85-90% weight retention for deep penetration.
