Hornady is one of America’s greatest bullet creators. Federal Premium, which is one of America’s greatest ammo manufacturers, knows this. But rather than getting all green with envy, Federal did the more sensible thing and began loading Hornady’s heavily engineered and highly effective ELD-X bullets. The outcome? Some of the best hunting ammo you could ever hope to feed into your 243 Win rifle.
The ELD-X features a special polymer tip: the Heat Shield. Once Hornady used Doppler radar to confirm that aerodynamic friction is hot enough to deform regular tips, they formulated a polymer that is wholly immune to air friction. The result is a tip that stays sharp and aerodynamic under all circumstances.
The Heat Shield doesn’t do all of the work. This round’s 90 grain projectile also showcases Hornady’s hyper-concentric Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, as well as a secant ogive profile which gracefully transitions to a boat tail. Federal puts the bullet’s G1 BC at 0.409, which translates to -6.1” drop at 300 yards after a 200-yard zero.
The ELD-X is built for hunting at all ranges. Within 400 yards, its thick shank and InterLock ring secure at least 50% weight retention. Outside of 400 yards, weight retention increases to 85-90%. But whichever range you catch your trophy at, you can rest assured the ELD-X will supply the terminal expansion requisite for a cavernous, devastating wound channel.
This ammo is loaded in Minnesota with nickel-plated cases. Always a welcome touch, they promote smoother feeding and extraction in addition to protecting the underlying brass against corrosion. Reloadable!
