Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X Rifle Ammunition

Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X hunting ammunition is engineered for consistent performance on game at varying distances. This specialized load offers a reliable solution for hunters seeking predictable terminal effects coupled with inherent accuracy from their precision rifle.

Bullet Design & Aerodynamics

• The Hornady ELD-X bullet features a Heat Shield tip designed to maintain its shape and ballistic coefficient (BC) by resisting aerodynamic heating throughout its flight.
• A streamlined secant ogive and optimized boattail design work with highly concentric AMP bullet jackets to provide efficient aerodynamics, reducing drag for flatter trajectories.

Terminal Performance Characteristics

• At higher velocities, typical of 0-400 yard impacts, the ELD-X bullet expands continuously through the target. The robust bullet shank and InterLock ring help retain 50-60% of the bullet’s weight, ensuring deep penetration.
• For lower velocity impacts encountered beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet core, initiating controlled expansion. This results in a large wound channel, 85-90% weight retention, and significant penetration, vital for ethical hunting.

This hunting ammunition is manufactured to Hornady’s exacting standards, providing dependable ignition and consistent velocities. Users can expect reliable performance when zeroing at the shooting range equipment and in field conditions.
