Precision Hunter .308 Winchester Ammunition
Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded hunting rounds, combining meticulous engineering with proven field performance. This is ammunition designed for hunters who demand accuracy and reliability across diverse hunting situations.
The ELD-X Bullet Advantage
At the heart of Precision Hunter lies the ELD-X bullet—a revolutionary design that performs exceptionally at all practical hunting ranges:
- Heat Shield Tip: A patent-pending innovation that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout the bullet's trajectory, preserving the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient
- Superior Aerodynamics: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets deliver radically superior efficiency
- Consistent Expansion: Thick jacket shank and InterLock ring keep core and jacket together, providing 50-60% weight retention at close range and 85-90% retention at extended ranges
Performance Across All Ranges
Close to Medium Range (0-400 yards): High velocity impact initiates continuous expansion throughout the penetration path, delivering devastating conventional range performance.
Extended Range (400+ yards): The Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body, initiating controlled expansion with a large mushroom and deep penetration for maximum effectiveness.
Manufacturing Excellence
Hornady engineers have invested considerable effort into developing match-accurate loads that allow the ELD-X bullet to achieve its maximum ballistic potential. Clean-burning propellants are loaded to uniform capacity for consistent shot-to-shot results regardless of temperature conditions.
