Description
The Hornady .308 Winchester 178-grain ELD-X Precision Hunter ammunition is designed for superior accuracy and terminal performance, making it an excellent choice for hunting applications. Here are its key features:
-
Bullet Type: ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - Expanding) with a Heat Shield® tip, which resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape for consistent ballistic performance.
-
Ballistic Coefficient: Best-in-class BCs, verified by Doppler radar, ensuring high aerodynamic efficiency.
-
Muzzle Velocity: 2,600 feet per second (fps), providing excellent energy retention and trajectory stability.
-
Terminal Performance:
-
At high velocity (0-400 yards), the bullet expands throughout its penetration path, retaining 50-60% of its weight.
-
At extended range (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip initiates controlled expansion, forming a large mushroom shape while retaining 85-90% of its weight for deep penetration
