Hrndy Ph 3006 178gr Eld-x 20/200

Hornady Precision Hunter 30-06 Springfield 178gr ELD-X ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy and terminal performance in a factory-loaded round designed for precision hunting applications. Each 20-round box contains Hornady's ELD-X bullet—engineered to maximize ballistic efficiency while maintaining consistent expansion on target. At 2,750 feet per second, this load balances velocity with barrel-friendly pressures, making it suitable for a wide range of 30-06 Springfield rifles and carbines.

The 178-grain ELD-X projectile represents a mid-weight option within the 30-06 platform, offering excellent sectional density for deep penetration while remaining stable across typical hunting distances. ELD-X bullets feature a heat-shield tip and secant ogive design that reduces drag and improves long-range ballistics. The consistent velocities achieved with Hornady's precision loading process ensure shot-to-shot repeatability—critical for hunters who demand sub-MOA groups at the range before field deployment. This ammunition is loaded to conservative pressures that won't accelerate wear on older or vintage Springfield rifles while still delivering sufficient velocity for ethical terminal performance.

This load is built for hunters and precision shooters who rely on the 30-06 Springfield for deer, elk, and medium-to-large game. The 178-grain weight places it in the sweet spot for shooters seeking a balance between wind deflection resistance and manageable recoil impulse. Whether running a bolt-action hunting rifle, semi-automatic platform, or scout-configured carbine, this ammunition provides the terminal performance and accuracy expected from a factory match-load. The 20-round box format supports both range qualification sessions and field deployment without excessive bulk.
