Hornady ELD-X 30 Cal .308 200gr Hunting Bullets 100/Box

The Hornady ELD-X .308 caliber 200 grain bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for serious hunters. These Heat Shield tip bullets maintain their ballistic coefficient throughout flight, providing consistent expansion at both close and extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) design incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology that resists aerodynamic heating better than traditional polymer tips. This advanced tip construction maintains the bullet's ballistic coefficient of .626 (G1) throughout its flight path, while the InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together for controlled expansion. Standard hunting bullets often experience tip deformation at high velocities, reducing their ballistic efficiency and accuracy potential.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip technology prevents tip deformation and maintains BC throughout flight
• 200 grain weight with .626 G1 ballistic coefficient for superior long-range performance
• InterLock ring mechanically bonds core to jacket for 50-60% weight retention
• Optimized secant ogive profile reduces drag and wind deflection
• Works effectively from 1,600 fps to 3,000+ fps impact velocities
• Suitable for cartridges from .308 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum
• 100 bullets per box for consistent load development and hunting seasons

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion across velocity ranges from close-range shots to 600+ yard impacts. The controlled expansion design creates large wound channels while retaining enough weight for deep penetration on large game. Weather conditions have minimal effect on performance due to the aerodynamic design and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
