The Hornady Precision Hunter 25-06 Remington ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with its 110-grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) projectile. This premium hunting cartridge combines match-grade precision with devastating terminal performance for medium to large game at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X bullet features Hornady's Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation from aerodynamic heating, maintaining consistent ballistic coefficients throughout flight. Unlike traditional polymer-tipped bullets that can melt and deform at high velocities, the Heat Shield tip preserves accuracy at ranges exceeding 400 yards. The bullet's secant ogive profile and boat-tail base design reduce drag by 20-30% compared to conventional hunting bullets.
Key Features
- 110-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for superior long-range accuracy
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities around 3,100 fps
- Match-grade brass cases with tight tolerances for reliable feeding
- Controlled expansion design retains 85-90% bullet weight for deep penetration
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.465 (G1) maintains energy at extended ranges
- Premium propellant selected for temperature stability and clean burning
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles, with effective range extending beyond 500 yards on deer-sized game. The 25-06 Remington cartridge excels in open country hunting where longer shots are common, particularly for pronghorn, deer, and similar-sized game. The ELD-X bullet initiates expansion reliably at impact velocities as low as 1,600 fps while maintaining structural integrity at close-range, high-velocity impacts.
