The Hornady Precision Hunter 28 Nosler delivers exceptional long-range performance with its 162-grain ELD-X projectile, engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration on big game. This premium hunting ammunition combines Hornady's advanced ballistic technology with match-grade components for shots extending beyond 400 yards.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation in flight, maintaining ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. Unlike conventional hunting bullets that lose accuracy at extended range, the ELD-X design delivers both the expansion needed for clean kills and the precision required for long-range shot placement. Independent testing shows this load maintains sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while providing reliable expansion down to 1,600 fps impact velocity.

Key Features

  • 162-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield polymer tip technology
  • 28 Nosler caliber optimized for flat trajectory and energy retention
  • Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness
  • Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
  • Ballistic coefficient of .631 G1 for superior downrange performance
  • Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,175 fps from 24-inch barrel
  • 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field performance data indicates this load maintains over 2,000 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards, making it effective on elk-sized game at extended distances. The 28 Nosler's flat trajectory reduces holdover requirements compared to traditional magnum cartridges. Hunters report consistent performance in temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F without significant velocity shifts.
