Federal Premium Hornady ELD-X Ammo (from $53 per box/20)

The ELD-X projectile, developed and manufactured by Hornady, is arguably the most technologically advanced match-grade, long-range hunting projectile ever produced. As most of us know, match-grade ammunition is designed for tight groups and consistent performance on paper and steel, not for hunting. The X in ELD-X breaks the mold and offers incredibly consistent performance — an Extreme Low Drag projectile that also eXpands. ELD-X, get it?

This match-accurate, hard-hitting hunting bullet stands apart thanks to an extremely high ballistic coefficient and a design that provides effective expansion at a wide range of velocities. It features a unique polymer tip that resists deformation to achieve consistent ballistics and initiate extreme-range expansion, as well as a concentric copper jacket and robust shank. The performance gain is undeniable, which is why you’re seeing more manufacturers loading the projectile in lieu of trying to develop their own. Federal Premium Hornady ELD-X is currently available in popular calibers from .243 Winchester to .300 Win. Mag. and about seven others in between.
