Hornady ELD-X 6mm .243 90gr Bullets - 100ct Box (2441)

The Hornady ELD-X 6mm .243 90-grain bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for precision shooting applications. These projectiles feature Heat Shield technology that maintains ballistic coefficient consistency across extended flight paths, outperforming traditional polymer-tipped bullets that degrade at high velocities.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X design incorporates a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating, maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout its trajectory. Traditional polymer tips can melt or deform during flight, reducing accuracy at extended ranges. The secant ogive profile and boat-tail base design create a ballistic coefficient of .409 (G1), significantly higher than conventional hunting bullets in this weight class.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip technology prevents deformation during high-velocity flight
• 90-grain weight optimized for 6mm/.243 Winchester cartridges
• Secant ogive profile with boat-tail base for superior ballistic coefficient
• InterLock ring mechanically locks core and jacket for controlled expansion
• Consistent jacket concentricity within 0.0003 inches
• 100 bullets per box for extended range sessions
• Compatible with standard .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor chambers

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at impact velocities from 1,600 to 3,000 fps, making these bullets effective for both long-range hunting and precision competition shooting. The controlled expansion design retains 85-90% of original weight while creating consistent wound channels. Weather resistance testing shows minimal performance degradation in temperature ranges from -40°F to 125°F.
