Hornady ELD-X 338 Cal 270gr Bullets - 50ct Box Hunting Ammo

The Hornady ELD-X 338 caliber 270-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 high and low velocities.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) design features Hornady's patented Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating better than traditional polymer tips. This technology prevents tip deformation during flight, maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient of .720 G1 for superior downrange performance. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, ensuring 50-85% weight retention upon impact.

Key Features

• Heat Shield tip prevents deformation and maintains BC throughout flight
• InterLock ring locks core and jacket for controlled expansion
• Secant ogive profile reduces drag and wind drift
• Optimized for 1:9.3" or faster twist rates
• Works effectively from 1,800 fps down to 1,600 fps impact velocity
• Ballistic coefficient of .720 G1 for flat trajectory
• 50 bullets per box, 15 boxes per case (750 total bullets)

These bullets excel in long-range hunting scenarios where precise shot placement is critical. The 270-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on large game, while the controlled expansion design creates devastating wound channels. Performance remains consistent across temperature extremes, making them reliable for mountain hunts or cold-weather conditions.
