Product Info for Hornady Precision Hunter .300 Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum 178 Grain Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding Centerfire Rifle Ammunition

Hornady ELDX Short Action Ultra Magnum Ammo allows you to take full advantage of the speed and power of ultra magnum cartridges in short action Ultra Magnum platforms. The ELDX bullet, which is an Extremely Low Drag design, is one of the most advanced hunting bullets ever made, designed for super fast handling and long range accuracy. The ELDX bullet flies fast but it's also built to expand even more forcefully because it's designed to. The progressively thickening and everted jacket stays together better than handgun bullets but is slightly less stable. The ELD-X is designed to continually expand throughout its penetration path versus other bullets. Plus, it has retained weight and a thin base so it doesn't deform nearly as much as other bullets. When you combine all those factors with the extreme accuracy of the Hornady ELD-X bullet, you get some of the most potent firepower built into a short action cartridge. Buy Hornady ammo to get bullets that are accurate, consistent, and always dependable.image

Features of Hornady Precision Hunter .300 Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum 178 Grain Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding Centerfire Rifle Ammunition:

  • Best-In-Class BCs: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in--class BC over its entire trajectory.
  • Match Accurate Hunting Bullet: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
  • Devastating Conventional Range Performance: With high velocity, 0--400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50--60% weight retention.
  • Best Extended Range Terminal Performance Available: Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85--90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
