The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) is a match-accurate hunting bullet engineered to perform consistently at all practical hunting distances, from close-range impacts out to extended range. At .338 calibre, .338" diameter and 230 grains, it is a high-BC long-range projectile for handloaders building precision hunting rounds. The Heat Shield tip — formed from heat-resistant polymer verified by Doppler radar — maintains its shape against aerodynamic heating throughout the bullet's entire flight path, preserving the industry-leading ballistic coefficient from muzzle to target. At conventional ranges (0–400 yards) the bullet expands progressively throughout its penetration path, with the InterLock ring and thick shank retaining 50–60% of bullet weight. At extended range (400+ yards) the Heat Shield tip is driven rearward on impact to initiate reliable expansion, delivering 85–90% weight retention with a large mushroom and deep wound channel. Streamlined secant ogive with boattail base and AMP bullet jackets combine to produce exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. These are component projectiles for handloaders — no case, primer or propellant included. No firearms certificate is required to purchase component bullet heads in the UK.
