Description
Hornady Precision Hunter rifle ammunition in .300 Winchester Magnum uses a 178 gr ELD-X bullet with a Heat Shield tip. The bullet is designed for aerodynamic efficiency, controlled expansion, and weight retention across a range of impact velocities. Each box contains 20 rounds, built for hunting performance from 0 to 400 yards.
Key features
- Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating and helps maintain its shape.
- Secant ogive with boattail design for streamlined aerodynamic performance.
- AMP jacket construction and InterLock ring to help hold core and jacket together.
- Designed for expansion through penetration with deep penetration and large cavities.
Impact and expansion behavior
- At higher velocity impacts, the bullet continually expands through its penetration path.
- At low velocity, the Heat Shield tip drives backward to initiate expansion.
- Weight retention targets are 50-60% through higher-velocity performance and 85-90% retained weight for low-velocity performance.
