Precision Hunter 338 Lapua 270 Grain ELD-X Ammunition 20 Rounds

Experience the thrill of hunting medium to large game with the Hornady Precision Hunter 338 Lapua 270 Grain ELD-X Ammunition. The streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, and Heat Shield tip combine for astounding aerodynamic efficiency, verified by Doppler radar. With low velocity, the Heat Shield tip initiates expansion, resulting in a large mushroom and deep penetration. On high velocity impact, the bullet expands throughout its path, maintaining 50-60% weight retention thanks to the thick jacket shank and high InterLock ring. The brass case is reloadable, enhancing the value of this premium hunting ammunition. Trust in the superior performance and reliability of Hornady’s 338 Lapua ammunition on your next hunting expedition.

Features

• Ideal for medium and large game hunting
• Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
• Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85–90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
• Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in–class BC over its entire trajectory.
• With high velocity, 0–400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50–60% weight retention.
