Hornady ELD-X 270 Cal .277 145gr Hunting Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Hornady ELD-X 270 caliber bullets deliver exceptional long-range performance with their advanced Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation at high velocities. These 145-grain projectiles combine the accuracy needed for precision shooting with controlled expansion for ethical hunting performance across extended distances.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional polymer-tipped bullets that can melt or deform during flight, the ELD-X features Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip that maintains its shape and ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. This design preserves the advertised BC of .536 (G1) even at extended ranges where conventional bullets lose efficiency. The result is flatter trajectories and more predictable wind drift compensation compared to standard hunting projectiles.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip technology prevents deformation and maintains ballistic coefficient
• Optimum secant ogive profile maximizes ballistic coefficient at .536 (G1)
• InterLock ring mechanically locks core and jacket for controlled expansion
• High-grade AMP bullet jackets provide consistent wall thickness
• 145-grain weight optimized for .270 Winchester and similar cartridges
• Boat tail design reduces drag and improves long-range stability
• Lead core engineered for 50-60% weight retention after expansion

Field testing demonstrates consistent expansion at velocities ranging from 1,600 to 3,000 fps, making these bullets effective from close-range shots to extended hunting distances beyond 500 yards. The controlled expansion design transfers energy efficiently while maintaining penetration through heavy bone and muscle. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic design and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
