Hornady Bullets 338 Cal .338 - 230gr ELD-X ammunition delivers precision and terminal performance for long-range hunting, competitive shooting, and tactical applications. Designed for shooters who demand consistency and accuracy at extended distances, these 230-grain Extremely Low Drag (ELD-X) projectiles represent Hornady's commitment to ballistic excellence and real-world field performance. Each case contains 1,500 rounds across 15 boxes of 100, providing serious shooters with a reliable supply for practice, competition, or hunting scenarios.
The 230-grain ELD-X bullet features a ballistic coefficient of .616, engineered to maintain velocity and energy downrange while minimizing wind drift and bullet drop—critical factors when engaging targets beyond 500 yards. ELD-X technology combines a streamlined secant-ogive nose design with a Heat Shield tip that protects the polymer tip from melting during high-velocity flight, ensuring consistent ballistic performance. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core to the jacket, preventing separation on impact and delivering controlled expansion that produces both reliable penetration and terminal effectiveness across a wide range of impact velocities.
This ammunition benefits long-range shooters, big-game hunters pursuing larger game species, and reloaders building match-grade cartridges for precision rifles chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Norma Magnum, or similar .338-caliber platforms. The 100-round box format allows flexibility—shooters can load ammunition progressively rather than committing an entire case before verifying accuracy with their specific rifle and load combination. Hornady's consistent manufacturing standards ensure minimal velocity variation from round to round, a prerequisite for sub-minute-of-angle (MOA) accuracy at distance and reliable field performance when accuracy matters.
