The Hornady 80462 Precision Hunter ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance for medium game hunting. This 243 Winchester load features the advanced ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet technology that maintains velocity and energy at extended ranges while providing controlled expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X bullet design combines the aerodynamic efficiency of match bullets with the terminal performance hunters demand. Unlike traditional hunting bullets that sacrifice accuracy for expansion, the Heat Shield tip resists deformation from aerodynamic heating, maintaining the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout flight. This results in flatter trajectories and more consistent point of impact at longer distances compared to conventional soft-point ammunition.Key Features
- 90-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for superior ballistic coefficient
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities and pressure
- Premium brass cases with uniform wall thickness for reliable feeding
- InterLock ring mechanically locks core and jacket together
- Streamlined secant ogive design reduces drag coefficient
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
