Hornady 83412 Precision Hunter 22 Creedmoor 80gr ELD-X 20rd Box

The Hornady Precision Hunter 83412 delivers match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance for long-range hunting applications. This 22 Creedmoor load combines the aerodynamic efficiency of the 80-grain ELD-X bullet with Hornady's precision manufacturing standards. Hunters gain consistent sub-MOA accuracy potential with reliable expansion at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag-eXpanding) bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation during flight, maintaining ballistic coefficient integrity where polymer tips fail. Standard hunting bullets lose accuracy potential beyond 400 yards due to tip deformation, while the ELD-X maintains consistent BC values to 800+ yards. The optimized ogive and boattail design reduce drag by 15-20% compared to conventional hunting projectiles.

Key Features

• 80-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for consistent long-range performance
• 22 Creedmoor chambering optimized for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness and flash hole uniformity
• Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities in varying conditions
• Ballistic coefficient of .421 (G1) maintains energy at extended ranges
• Controlled expansion design for reliable terminal performance on game
• 20 rounds per box with consistent powder charges and bullet seating depth

Field testing demonstrates 1-inch groups at 200 yards from quality bolt-action rifles with proper scope mounting. The 22 Creedmoor cartridge launches the 80-grain ELD-X at approximately 3,100 fps, delivering over 1,500 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards. Hunters report reliable expansion on medium game from 100 to 600+ yards when proper shot placement occurs. The cartridge performs consistently in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F without significant velocity variations.
