Hornady 81587 Precision Hunter 280 Rem 150gr ELD-X 20 Rounds

The Hornady Precision Hunter 81587 delivers exceptional long-range performance with its 150-grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet design in 280 Remington. This premium hunting ammunition combines match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance for medium to large game hunting applications.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X bullet technology features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation from aerodynamic heating, maintaining ballistic coefficient throughout flight. Unlike traditional hunting bullets that sacrifice accuracy for expansion, the ELD-X design provides sub-MOA precision while delivering controlled expansion at both high and low velocities. The optimized boat-tail design and secant ogive profile reduce drag coefficients significantly compared to conventional hunting projectiles.
