300 Weatherby Magnum ELD-X bullets and factory ready Precision Hunter ammo on both long range whitetail and bigger western game with exceptional results. And for the serious hunter, pre-made Precision Hunter ammunition is a ready companion for bigger game, longer rangers. The bullet works differently at high velocity versus lower velocities but the end result should both be a high weight retention mushroom with a dead animal, meat in the freezer, and perhaps even a mount for the wall at any range.

The propellants, proprietary of course, are listed as “clean burning and loaded to uniform capacity for consistent shot to shot results regardless of temperature.” We all know that hardcore hunters are out in the most extreme weather and temperature conditions - we need a bullet and load that will perform when that one shot counts the most and this is what Hornady’s Precision Hunter promises. Their answer? Hornady found and developed a heat-resistant polymer they now call the Heat Shield meplat. Though this effect is likely negligible at shorter ranges and with conventional hunting ammo, aerodynamic heating has been shown to reduce the BC and have a significant effect on accuracy at ranges greater than 400 yards.
Hornady engineers saw a problem with commonly used polymer tips in high BC bullets melting and deforming in flight.
ELD-X bullets are considered “heavy caliber” and are also touted to have the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients (BC) while maintaining controlled expansion throughout a gamut of hunting ranges. The moniker means “extend your range and never compromise at any distance.” This new polymer-tipped bullet is advertised as a match accurate, technologically advanced, all range hunting tip.
