Hrndy Ph 338lap 270gr Eld-x 20/120

Hornady Precision Hunter .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition loaded with 270-grain ELD-X bullets delivers match-grade accuracy and proven terminal performance for long-range hunting and tactical applications. This factory-loaded ammunition combines Hornady's rigorous manufacturing standards with the ballistic advantages of the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet design, engineered to maximize velocity, stability, and on-target impact at extended distances.

Each cartridge launches the 270-grain projectile at 2,800 feet per second, generating the downrange energy required for consistent penetration and controlled expansion on game-sized targets. The .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge itself—originally developed for precision rifle competition and military marksman use—provides a flat trajectory and minimal wind deflection beyond 1,000 yards. Hornady's quality-controlled loading process ensures consistent pressure, velocity, and accuracy run-to-run, critical factors when precision matters. Twenty rounds per box allow operators and hunters to verify zero, conduct group testing, and prepare for field deployment without excessive commitment of premium ammunition.

This ammunition is suited for precision rifle shooters pursuing elk, moose, and other large game at 500+ yards, as well as for tactical marksmen and competitive long-range shooters who prioritize ballistic consistency. The ELD-X bullet's design—incorporating a secant ogive and Hornady's Interlock ring—promotes reliable expansion while maintaining bullet integrity for deep, lethal wound channels. Users operating in high-altitude or extreme-distance scenarios benefit from the .338 Lapua's superior ballistic coefficient and energy retention compared to smaller magnum calibers.
