Federal Premium ELD-X 243 Winchester 90gr Hunting Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Federal Premium P243ELDX1 delivers exceptional long-range hunting performance with Hornady's advanced ELD-X bullet technology. This 243 Winchester ammunition combines Federal's precision manufacturing with the ELD-X's proven ability to expand reliably at both high and low velocities.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation during flight, maintaining ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. Unlike traditional polymer tips that can melt and affect accuracy at extended ranges, the Heat Shield tip preserves the bullet's aerodynamic profile. This technology delivers consistent expansion from 1,600 fps down to 400 fps, making it effective at both close and extreme hunting distances.

Key Features

• 90-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for superior long-range accuracy
• Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities and reduced temperature sensitivity
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding and extraction
• Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.409 for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Controlled expansion design maintains 85-90% weight retention
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for universal rifle compatibility
• 20 rounds per box with reloadable brass cases

Field testing demonstrates this load's effectiveness on medium game at distances exceeding 400 yards, where traditional hunting bullets often fail to expand properly. The 90-grain weight provides an ideal balance of velocity and energy retention for the 243 Winchester cartridge. Weather-resistant primer and powder formulation ensure consistent ignition in temperature extremes from -20°F to 125°F.
