The Federal P3006ELDX1 Premium ELD-X delivers consistent long-range performance for serious hunters pursuing big game at extended distances. This 30-06 Springfield ammunition combines Hornady's ELD-X bullet technology with Federal's precision manufacturing to create rounds that maintain velocity and expand reliably from 50 to 400+ yards.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet design features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation in flight, maintaining the ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. Unlike traditional polymer-tipped bullets that can melt at high velocities, the Heat Shield technology preserves accuracy at long range. Federal's case design and powder selection optimize pressure curves specifically for the 178-grain ELD-X projectile, delivering consistent muzzle velocities shot after shot.

Key Features

  • 178-grain Hornady ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
  • Optimized powder charge for consistent 2,700 fps muzzle velocity
  • InterLock ring mechanically locks core and jacket together
  • Secant ogive boat-tail design reduces drag coefficient
  • Federal brass cases with consistent wall thickness
  • Boxer primers for reliable ignition in all weather conditions
  • 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing shows this load maintains over 1,800 fps at 400 yards, ensuring proper expansion on medium to large game. The 178-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on elk, deer, and similar-sized animals. Federal's quality control processes result in standard deviations typically under 15 fps, contributing to sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles. The ammunition performs consistently in temperature ranges from -20°F to 125°F.
