The Federal Premium P308ELDX1 ELD-X ammunition delivers exceptional long-range hunting performance with its advanced 178-grain projectile design. This precision-engineered cartridge combines Federal's proven brass and powder charges with Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology for consistent expansion at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation from aerodynamic heating, maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout flight. Unlike traditional polymer tips that can melt and affect accuracy at high velocities, the Heat Shield tip preserves the bullet's aerodynamic profile for superior downrange performance. The secant ogive design and boat-tail base reduce drag significantly compared to conventional hunting bullets.Key Features
