Hornady ELD X 30 CAL (.308) 220Gr (HORN-3078)

The Hornady ELD-X 30 CAL (.308) 220Gr (HORN-3078) is designed to extend your range and ensure uncompromised performance at all distances. This Extremely Low Drag – Expanding (ELD-X®) bullet is a state-of-the-art, match-accurate hunting round with exceptional ballistic efficiency. Engineered for both conventional and long-range hunting, it features best-in-class ballistic coefficients (BC), verified through Doppler radar. Thanks to the Heat Shield® tip, the bullet is immune to aerodynamic heating, maintaining its optimal shape and BC throughout its trajectory, making it an ideal choice for precision shooting.

The Hornady ELD-X® bullet combines a streamlined secant ogive, optimal boattail design, highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, and the Heat Shield® tip to deliver unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency. This ensures the bullet stays on course with superior accuracy for match-level performance. At conventional ranges of 0-400 yards, the bullet delivers devastating impact, expanding consistently throughout its penetration path. The high-velocity impact allows for 50-60% weight retention, while the thick jacket shank and InterLock® ring secure the core and jacket, maximizing damage and wound channels in game animals.

When extending your range beyond 400 yards, the ELD-X® bullet performs exceptionally well even at low velocities. The Heat Shield® tip compresses back into the bullet, initiating reliable expansion that creates a large mushroom, leading to deep penetration and massive wound cavities. With 85-90% weight retention on impact, it delivers excellent terminal ballistics at extended distances, ensuring hunters can rely on it for precision and lethality even in challenging conditions.

Ideal for both short and long-range hunting, the Hornady ELD-X® 220Gr provides the ultimate balance between accuracy, penetration, and controlled expansion, making it one of the best all-range hunting bullets available. This bullet delivers superior performance in all environments and hunting scenarios, allowing you to take down your target effectively at any distance without compromising your shot.
