The Hornady 82144 Precision Hunter ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with its advanced ELD-X bullet design specifically engineered for the 300 Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum cartridge. This premium hunting ammunition combines match-grade components with devastating terminal performance for serious hunters pursuing big game at extended distances. Each 178-grain bullet features Hornady's patented Heat Shield tip technology that resists deformation at high velocities.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet technology sets this ammunition apart from conventional hunting rounds through its superior ballistic coefficient and controlled expansion characteristics. While traditional hunting bullets lose accuracy potential at longer ranges due to tip deformation, the Heat Shield tip maintains its aerodynamic profile throughout flight. This results in flatter trajectories and more consistent point of impact compared to standard polymer-tipped hunting ammunition.Key Features
