Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC 143gr ELD-X

Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC 143gr ELD-X

Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded hunting rounds, combining meticulous engineering with proven terminal performance. This 6.5 PRC load delivers the accuracy and reliability demanded by serious hunters.

Ballistic Excellence

The 143-grain ELD-X bullet achieves a ballistic coefficient of .625, verified through Doppler radar testing. The innovative Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout the bullet's flight, preserving superior ballistic performance across the entire trajectory.

Superior Design

Each round features:

• Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design for reduced drag
• Highly concentric AMP bullet jackets ensuring consistent performance
• Patent-pending Heat Shield tip that drives backward upon impact to initiate expansion
• Thick jacket shank with InterLock ring keeping core and jacket together

Terminal Performance

The ELD-X bullet performs exceptionally across all practical hunting ranges. At close range (0-400 yards), the bullet expands continuously throughout its penetration path, retaining 50-60% of its weight. At extended ranges (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip drives backward to initiate controlled expansion with 85-90% weight retention, providing deep penetration and devastating wound cavities.

Consistent Accuracy

Precision Hunter ammunition uses clean-burning propellants loaded to uniform capacity, ensuring consistent shot-to-shot results regardless of temperature. This attention to detail delivers the accuracy and performance uniformity required for the most demanding hunting situations.
