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
