Hornady Precision Hunter 308 Win 178 Grain ELD-X Centerfire Rifle Rounds - Heat Shield Tip for Superior Aerodynamics

Hornady 80994 Precision Hunter 308Win 178gr Extremely Low Drag eXpanding 20 Per Box/10 Case

Hornady's Precision Hunter series, part number 80994, features the innovative Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating, ensuring consistent shape and high ballistic coefficient throughout the projectile's trajectory. This design enhances accuracy and efficiency at extended ranges by minimizing drag and maintaining stability during flight. The streamlined secant ogive combined with an optimal boattail and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets deliver radically superior aerodynamic performance, making these rounds ideal for long-range hunting scenarios.
The 178-grain ELD-X bullet is engineered for extremely low drag and controlled expansion upon impact, making it suitable for precise hunting applications. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring work together to keep the core and jacket securely bonded, resulting in an impressive 50-60% weight retention even after impact. Muzzle energy reaches approximately 2,672 foot-pounds, with a velocity of 2,600 feet per second, providing ample power for game at distances up to 400 yards.
Manufactured with quality brass casings, these centerfire rifle rounds are designed for consistent performance and reliability in demanding hunting environments. Each box contains 20 rounds, with 10 boxes per case, offering ample supply for extended hunts or multiple outings.
