Hornady ELD-X 7mm .284 162gr Hunting Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Hornady ELD-X 7mm .284 162 grain bullets deliver exceptional long-range performance with their Heat Shield tip technology that maintains ballistic coefficient throughout flight. These premium hunting projectiles combine the accuracy of match bullets with reliable expansion at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X features Hornady's patented Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating, unlike polymer tips that deform in flight. This technology maintains the bullet's ballistic coefficient of .631 (G1) across all velocities. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, ensuring 50-60% weight retention even after high-velocity impact.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip maintains BC of .631 (G1) at all velocities for consistent trajectories
• Optimum secant ogive design reduces drag and wind deflection
• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation during expansion
• AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures uniform wall thickness
• 162 grain weight ideal for medium to large game hunting
• Streamlined boat-tail base enhances long-range stability
• Compatible with standard 7mm/.284 rifle chambers

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1-2 MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The 162 grain weight provides excellent sectional density of .287 for deep penetration on elk, deer, and similar game. Terminal performance remains effective from 1,800 fps down to 1,600 fps impact velocity, extending ethical hunting range significantly beyond conventional bullets.
