Hornady's match-accurate hunting load features the ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for superior aerodynamics and reliable expansion from close range to 400+ yards.
Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded hunting rounds, combining meticulous engineering with real-world performance. Every aspect of this load—from propellant selection to bullet design—has been refined to deliver both accuracy and terminal performance across all practical hunting ranges.
At the heart of Precision Hunter lies the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet, a revolutionary design that performs consistently whether your shot is at 50 yards or 400 yards.
Superior Aerodynamics:
Close to Medium Range (0-400 yards): The bullet expands progressively throughout its penetration path, with the thick jacket shank and InterLock ring keeping core and jacket together for 50-60% weight retention and deep, devastating wound channels.
Extended Range (400+ yards): At lower impact velocities, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body to initiate expansion. The result is a large mushroom with 85-90% weight retention, providing deep penetration and maximum tissue damage.
Clean-burning propellants are loaded to uniform capacity for shot-to-shot consistency regardless of temperature or hunting conditions. This attention to detail ensures the highest levels of accuracy and performance uniformity for the most demanding hunting situations.
Specifications:
Whether you're pursuing elk in the high country or deer in the timber, Precision Hunter delivers the accuracy and terminal performance serious hunters demand.
