Hornady Precision Hunter .280 Rem 150gr ELD-X

Hornady Precision Hunter: Purpose-Built for Hunting Excellence

Hornady's Precision Hunter ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded hunting rounds, combining meticulous engineering with proven terminal performance. Every cartridge is designed to deliver both accuracy and lethality—the two cornerstones of ethical hunting.

The ELD-X Bullet Advantage

At the heart of Precision Hunter lies the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet, a revolutionary design that challenges conventional wisdom about hunting ammunition:

• Heat Shield Tip: Resists aerodynamic heating and maintains shape throughout the trajectory, preserving the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient
• Streamlined Design: Secant ogive with optimum boattail geometry and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets deliver radically superior aerodynamic efficiency
• Ballistic Coefficient: .574—verified by Doppler radar for real-world performance data

Terminal Performance Across All Ranges

Precision Hunter excels whether your shot is at 50 yards or 400+ yards:

Close to Medium Range (0-400 yards): The bullet's high velocity and thick jacket shank work in concert with the InterLock ring to keep core and jacket together, achieving 50-60% weight retention for deep penetration and controlled expansion.

Extended Range (400+ yards): At lower impact velocities, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body, initiating expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% weight retention—delivering deep penetration and devastating wound channels.

Precision Manufacturing

Each round is loaded to exacting standards:

• Optimal pressure, velocity, and lot-to-lot consistency

Whether you're hunting elk in the high country or deer in the timber, Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition delivers the accuracy and terminal performance serious hunters demand.
