Hornady ELD-X Bullets with Heat Shield Tip .30 cal .308" 220 gr 100/ct

The Hornady ELD-X Bullets with Heat Shield Tip in .30 caliber .308" diameter, 220 grain represent a precision advancement in long-range hunting ammunition. These bullets feature Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip—a specialized polymer construction engineered to resist melting and deformation at high velocities. Unlike conventional polymer tips that degrade in flight, the Heat Shield maintains aerodynamic integrity and ballistic coefficient consistency across extended distance engagements, delivering reliable performance from moderate to extreme ranges where conventional designs falter.

The 220 grain weight in this .30 caliber platform provides a high ballistic coefficient, minimizing wind drift and bullet drop—critical factors in precision rifle applications. The ELD-X design balances penetration with controlled expansion, making it effective across varied game sizes and impact velocities. At 3.25 lbs per 100-count box, this ammunition allows shooters to stock practical quantities for extended field seasons or comprehensive range development. The 100-round count per box (HO3078 / MPN 3078) enables cost-effective training cycles while maintaining single-lot consistency.

This offering serves hunters and precision rifle shooters who prioritize shot-to-shot consistency and extended-range accuracy. The ELD-X platform addresses a specific gap in the market: delivering match-grade ballistic performance without sacrificing the controlled expansion needed for hunting applications. Shooters working with .30 caliber magnums, .308 Winchester, or similar cartridges benefit from the bullet's predictable performance in variable conditions. Whether zeroing at 100 yards or executing shots at 500+ yards, the Heat Shield tip ensures the projectile performs as designed.

The 220 grain ELD-X .308" diameter bullet sits within a competitive segment of premium hunting projectiles. It differentiates itself through Hornady's thermal-resistant tip technology—a meaningful engineering distinction compared to standard polymer-tipped offerings. For handloaders and ammunition manufacturers, this projectile provides a high-BC component suitable for precision rifle platforms. Serious long-range hunters reload with components like this to dial in sub-MOA precision across verified distance.
