Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm Rem Mag 162gr ELD-X Hunting Ammunition

The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm Remington Magnum 162gr ELD-X ammunition is engineered for demanding hunting scenarios where consistent terminal performance across varying distances is critical. This specialized hunting ammunition leverages advanced bullet design to ensure reliability from close range to extended engagements.

Engineered Performance

• Heat Shield Tip: The Heat Shield tip is designed to resist aerodynamic heating, maintaining its precise shape and the bullet’s high ballistic coefficient (BC) throughout its trajectory. This feature ensures predictable flight characteristics, a key factor for precision rifle shooting.
• Aerodynamic Profile: Featuring a streamlined secant ogive, an optimized boattail design, and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, this projectile achieves superior aerodynamic efficiency, minimizing drag and improving downrange energy retention.

Terminal Ballistics

This ammunition delivers distinct terminal performance profiles tailored to impact velocity:

• High Velocity (0-400 yards): Upon impact, the bullet expands continuously through its penetration path. The robust shank and high InterLock ring ensure core and jacket integrity, typically retaining 50-60% of the bullet’s weight for effective energy transfer.
• Low Velocity (400+ yards): For extended range impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet, initiating controlled expansion. This results in a substantial mushroom and impressive 85-90% weight retention, providing deep penetration and large wound channels for clean kills on game.

Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm Rem Mag 162gr ELD-X provides the reliability and accuracy required by discerning hunters seeking predictable results in the field. This ammunition for hunting is a practical choice for large game.
