- Consistent expansion across a wide range of impact velocities
- Component bullets only — not loaded ammunition; sold for handloading use
The Hornady .224 calibre 80 grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) is a precision component bullet designed for handloaders building all-range hunting and varminting loads. At 80 grains, this is one of the heavier .224/5.56mm projectiles available and is well suited to rifles with faster twist rates capable of stabilising it. The ELD-X design centres on Hornady's Heat Shield tip — a polymer tip that maintains its shape under aerodynamic heating at high velocity, preserving the bullet's high ballistic coefficient throughout flight. On impact, the AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket bonds core and jacket together, preventing separation and delivering consistent, controlled expansion across a wide range of impact velocities. These are component bullets only — not loaded ammunition — and are sold for use in the handloading process. Suitable for precision all-range hunting and long-range varminting where consistent BC and reliable terminal performance are required.
