The Hornady Precision Hunter 300 RUM delivers exceptional long-range performance with its 220-grain ELD-X bullet design. This premium hunting ammunition combines match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance for large game hunting at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet features Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation at high velocities, maintaining ballistic coefficient throughout flight. Unlike traditional hunting bullets that lose accuracy at long range, the ELD-X maintains sub-MOA precision while delivering controlled expansion on impact. The optimized ogive and boat-tail design reduce drag by up to 50% compared to conventional bullets.
