But that’s not all! You also need proper ammo if you want to snipe with the big dogs. And if you’re sniping beasts, that means you need this 30-06 by Federal Premium.
Hornady’s ELD-X is fine tuned for long-distance hunters’ needs. That means its accurate, which it owes to its extraordinary aerodynamic efficiency: precisely what its secant ogive profile, boat tail, Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, and Heat Shield polymer tip are all designed to enhance. Here’s the heavyweight 0.552 G1 BC ELD-X’s performance out of a 24” barrel to give you a closer look at its promising ballistics:
0yds: 2,750 fps | 2,990 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,587 fps | 2,645 ft lbs | 4.5”
200yds: 2,430 fps | 2,334 ft lbs | 5.2”
300yds: 2,278 fps | 2,051 ft lbs | 0.0”
400yds: 2,132 fps | 1,796 ft lbs | -11.9”
500yds: 1,991 fps | 1,566 ft lbs | -31.4”
600yds: 1,856 fps | 1,361 ft lbs | -59.7”
Hitting the quarry’s not enough. The bullet also ought to reach a vital, which the ELD-X’s robust jacket shank and InterLock ring both help it do. Weight retention past 400 yards can reach 90%! The ELD-X also fully earns the “X” in its name, as its nose cavity and Heat Shield begin producing expansion immediately after the moment of impact.
