Hornady ELD-X 22 Caliber 80 Grain Hunting Bullets

Hornady ELD-X: Advanced Hunting Bullet Technology

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) represents a significant advancement in hunting bullet design. These 80-grain projectiles combine cutting-edge aerodynamic engineering with reliable terminal performance across the full spectrum of hunting distances.

Superior Ballistic Performance

Heat Shield Tip Technology — Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip is immune to aerodynamic heating effects that degrade performance at extended ranges. Verified by Doppler radar testing, the tip maintains its shape throughout the bullet's flight, preserving the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient over the entire trajectory.

Streamlined Design — The combination of a streamlined secant ogive, optimized boattail design, and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets creates radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. This engineering translates to flatter trajectories and more predictable long-range performance.

Reliable Expansion at All Ranges

The ELD-X is engineered to perform consistently whether you're shooting at 100 yards or 400-plus yards:

• High-velocity impacts (0-400 yards): The bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining 50-60% weight retention through the thick jacket shank and InterLock ring.
• Low-velocity impacts (400+ yards): The Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body to initiate expansion, producing conventional mushrooming with 85-90% weight retention for deep penetration and large wound cavities.

Match-Grade Accuracy

These bullets are loaded to exacting standards for the precision and consistency serious hunters demand. Whether you're handloading or using factory ammunition, ELD-X bullets deliver the accuracy required for ethical, effective hunting.
