Hornady ELD-X Bullets with Heat Shield 7mm .284" 162 gr ELD-X 100/Box

Hornady ELD-X Bullets with Heat Shield in 7mm .284" 162 grain are precision rifle bullets engineered for long-range accuracy and terminal performance. The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) platform combines a revolutionary Heat Shield tip with an optimized meplat geometry, delivering consistent ballistic coefficients that exceed conventional hunting bullets. This 100-box package provides match-grade components for reloaders seeking superior precision at distance.

The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape through transonic and supersonic flight regimes without degrading the ballistic coefficient. The 162-grain projectile in 7mm caliber (.284" diameter) balances sectional density and velocity retention across extended ranges. Hornady's advanced manufacturing process ensures tight weight tolerance and consistent concentricity lot-to-lot, critical for reload consistency and velocity uniformity. The bullet's boat-tail design and optimized ogive enhance ballistic performance while the polymer tip initiates reliable expansion on impact.

These bullets address the needs of precision rifle reloaders building ammunition for long-range hunting and target work in 7mm magnums and standard 7mm cartridges. The 162-grain weight works across platforms including 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm Weatherby Magnum, and similar high-velocity 7mm cases. Serious handloaders developing hunting loads for medium and large game at ranges beyond 300 yards will find the ELD-X's terminal design and aerodynamic efficiency valuable for both velocity and energy retention. The box quantity supports sustained training cycles and load development work.
