Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X Rifle Ammunition 6.8 Western 176 Grain 20-Round Box
SKU: 80561
Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition is designed for hunters seeking a combination of aerodynamic efficiency consistent factory-loaded performance and hunting-oriented terminal characteristics. This 6.8 Western load uses a 176-grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet with Hornady's Heat Shield tip providing a heavy-for-caliber projectile designed for both conventional and extended-range hunting applications.
The ELD-X projectile combines a streamlined secant ogive optimized boattail profile AMP bullet jacket and Heat Shield polymer tip. This construction is designed to maintain aerodynamic efficiency throughout the bullet's trajectory while providing controlled expansion across a broad range of impact velocities.
Hornady's Heat Shield tip is designed to resist the effects of aerodynamic heating helping the bullet retain its intended profile during flight. The ELD-X also incorporates an InterLock ring which is designed to help maintain core and jacket integrity during expansion.
Precision Hunter ammunition uses carefully selected propellants loaded for consistent performance across varying temperatures and shooting conditions. For hunters using the 6.8 Western this 176-grain ELD-X load provides a purpose-built hunting cartridge for rifle sight-in field use and longer-range hunting applications.
