Hornady Precision Hunter 338 Win Mag 230gr ELD-X 20rd Box

The Hornady 82222 Precision Hunter ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance for long-range hunting applications. This 338 Winchester Magnum load features the advanced ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet technology that maintains velocity and energy downrange while providing controlled expansion on game.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X bullet design incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield tip that resists deformation during flight, maintaining the ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. Standard hunting bullets often lose accuracy at extended ranges due to tip deformation, but the Heat Shield technology preserves the aerodynamic profile. This ammunition consistently delivers sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while providing reliable expansion at both close and extended hunting distances.

Key Features

• 230-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for superior ballistic coefficient
• Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness and flash hole uniformity
• Optimized powder charge for maximum velocity and accuracy
• Controlled expansion design effective from 400 fps to 3000+ fps impact velocity
• Ballistic coefficient of .550 for flatter trajectory and wind resistance
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading

Field performance demonstrates consistent 1-2 MOA accuracy in most quality rifles chambered in 338 Winchester Magnum. The 230-grain bullet weight provides excellent penetration and energy retention for large game hunting, including elk, moose, and bear. The ELD-X design ensures reliable expansion even after passing through heavy bone or muscle tissue, making it effective for both broadside and quartering shots on big game animals.
