The Hornady Precision Hunter 82213 delivers match-grade accuracy for long-range hunting with its 200-grain ELD-X bullet designed for extreme ballistic performance. This 300 Weatherby Magnum load combines Hornady's advanced projectile technology with carefully selected propellants to maximize downrange energy retention and terminal performance on big game.
What Makes This Different
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet features Heat Shield technology that maintains the polymer tip's integrity during flight, preventing aerodynamic degradation that affects other polymer-tipped bullets. This 200-grain projectile maintains a high ballistic coefficient of 0.626 (G1) compared to traditional hunting bullets that typically range from 0.400-0.500. The controlled expansion design ensures reliable mushrooming at both close and extended ranges where velocity drops significantly.
Key Features
- 200-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield polymer tip technology
- High ballistic coefficient of 0.626 (G1) for superior long-range performance
- Optimized for 300 Weatherby Magnum chamber specifications
- Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Carefully selected propellant for velocity consistency
- Controlled expansion design effective from 400-3000+ fps impact velocity
- Premium packaging with 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case
Field testing demonstrates this load's effectiveness on large game at extended ranges where the 300 Weatherby Magnum excels. The ELD-X bullet's interlock ring prevents jacket separation during expansion while the polymer tip initiates controlled mushrooming. Weather-sealed primers and cases resist moisture infiltration during extended hunts in adverse conditions.
