The Hornady 80851 Precision Hunter ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy for 7mm STW rifles with its 162-grain ELD-X bullet design. This factory load combines Hornady's advanced ballistic technology with consistent powder charges to achieve superior downrange performance on big game hunts.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet features a heat-resistant tip that maintains its shape during flight, unlike traditional polymer tips that deform under aerodynamic heating. This design preserves the ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory, resulting in flatter flight paths and more predictable terminal performance at extended ranges. The bullet's secant ogive profile and boat-tail base further reduce drag compared to conventional hunting bullets.Key Features
