Hornady 80712 Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X Ammo 20rd Box

The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with the advanced ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet technology. This premium hunting ammunition combines match-grade precision with devastating terminal performance for ethical harvests at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation in flight, maintaining aerodynamic integrity where traditional polymer tips fail. While standard hunting bullets lose accuracy beyond 400 yards due to tip deformation, the ELD-X maintains sub-MOA precision out to 800+ yards. The optimized boat-tail design and high ballistic coefficient of 0.689 deliver flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to conventional hunting projectiles.

Key Features

• 175-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
• High ballistic coefficient (G1: 0.689) for superior long-range performance
• Interlock ring mechanically locks core and jacket for controlled expansion
• Premium brass cases with consistent neck tension and flash hole uniformity
• Temperature-stable propellant maintains velocity across weather conditions
• Match-grade powder charge weights for consistent velocities
• Optimized for 24-26 inch barrel lengths in 7mm PRC rifles

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1-1.5 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles, with muzzle velocities averaging 2,940 fps from 24-inch barrels. The controlled expansion design performs reliably on medium to large game from 100 to 800 yards, maintaining 1,500+ ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards. Weather-resistant primer sealing and case mouth sealant ensure reliable ignition in adverse hunting conditions.
