Hornady ELD-X 270 Cal .277 145gr Long-Range Hunting Bullets
S118357
- Hornady ELD-X — all-range hunting bullet for conventional and extended-range stalking
- Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating to maintain class-leading BC throughout flight
- Doppler radar-verified ballistic coefficients for predictable long-range performance
- 0–400 yard performance: 50–60% weight retention with progressive expansion along the wound path
- 400+ yard performance: Heat Shield tip drives back to initiate expansion, 85–90% weight retention
- InterLock ring with AMP jacket and streamlined secant ogive boattail for superior aerodynamic efficiency
- 270 Cal (.277 diameter), 145 grain — component projectiles for hand-loading
The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag — eXpanding) is a match-accurate hunting bullet designed to perform at all practical distances, from close-range woodland shots to extended-range open-country stalks. The centrepiece is the Heat Shield tip — a polymer compound immune to the aerodynamic heating that distorts standard plastic tips in flight, allowing the bullet to retain its shape and its class-leading ballistic coefficient across the full trajectory. At conventional ranges (0–400 yards), the bullet expands progressively throughout its penetration path, with the thick jacket shank and a high InterLock ring keeping core and jacket together at 50–60% weight retention. At extended ranges beyond 400 yards, where velocity is lower, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet on impact to initiate reliable expansion, delivering 85–90% weight retention, a large mushroom, and deep penetration. The streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail, combined with Hornady's highly concentric AMP jacket, produces the aerodynamic efficiency that makes this one of the most consistent all-range hunting bullets available. These are component projectiles for hand-loading at 145 grains in .277-inch diameter.
