Hornady ELD-X 25 Cal .257 110gr Hunting Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Hornady ELD-X 25418 delivers exceptional long-range performance with its Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation at high velocities. This 110-grain .257 caliber bullet maintains ballistic coefficient throughout flight, providing hunters with consistent expansion and deep penetration on medium game.

What Makes This Different

The patented Heat Shield tip prevents tip deformation that plagues traditional polymer-tipped bullets at velocities exceeding 3,000 fps. While standard hunting bullets lose accuracy and expansion reliability at extended ranges, the ELD-X maintains its ballistic coefficient of .465 throughout its trajectory. This translates to flatter flight paths and more predictable terminal performance compared to conventional soft-point or ballistic tip designs.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip technology prevents deformation at high velocities
• Secant ogive profile optimizes ballistic coefficient (.465 G1)
• InterLock ring mechanically locks jacket and core together
• Optimum performance range from 400-3,000+ fps impact velocity
• Controlled expansion design for 1.5-2x caliber wound channels
• Match-grade jacket concentricity for sub-MOA accuracy potential
• Compatible with all .257 caliber cartridges including .25-06 and .257 Weatherby

Field testing demonstrates consistent 65-75% weight retention across various impact velocities, making this bullet effective for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game from 100 to 600+ yards. The controlled expansion design penetrates deeply while creating sufficient wound channels for quick, ethical kills. Temperature stability remains consistent from -40°F to 125°F, ensuring reliable performance in diverse hunting conditions.
