ELD-X™ (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) Bullets

The ELD-X™ bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, all-range hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances.

Hornady® engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined, high BC bullets melt and deform– no matter the brand or manufacturer. Although not a significant issue affecting moderate BC conventional tipped varmint and hunting bullets, aerodynamic heating causes BC reduction and degradation of accuracy, particularly at extended ranges (400 yds +). To counter this effect, Hornady® identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the patent pending Heat Shield™ tip. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet to bullet and lot to lot. Read more

A secondary goal was to significantly increase the size of the Permanent Wound Cavity (PWC) as compared to the XP. We did not just meet these goals; we blew these goals out of the water! Read more
