20 Rounds of 178gr ELD-X .308 Win Ammo by Hornady

Great Scott! Hornady left no stone unturned in their quest to design the world’s most accurate hunting bullet. The fruit of their labors? The Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding (ELD-X). Your opportunity to avail yourself of the ELD-X’s many talents this hunting season? You’re looking right at it, babe!

This round’s ELD-X is heavy for the 308 Win, but it’s so much more than just massive. The Heat Shield polymer tip, which has a Doppler tested and proven DVRT flat meplat and the fortitude to withstand aerodynamic friction undeformed. An Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, with nigh perfect concentricity and a graceful secant ogive profile and boat tail. They all lend themselves to this bullet’s 0.278 G7 BC and extraordinary 72% velocity retention at 500 yards (at which range the ELD-X maintains 1,379 ft lbs striking energy).

The ELD-X does a lot more than hit its target, too. Its InterLock ring keeps its core and jacket united to the tune of 50% or higher weight retention within 400 yards; 85% or higher beyond. The ELD-X holds true to the “X” in its name as well, supplying death-dealing terminal expansion well past the 400-yard line.
