Discover the precision and performance of the Hornady 6.5mm .264 143 gr ELD-X bullets, engineered for serious hunters and precision shooters seeking reliable expansion and match-grade accuracy across all practical ranges. These 100-count projectiles deliver consistent terminal performance whether you’re engaging targets at conventional distances or stretching out to extended ranges.
Key Features and Benefits
- Heat Shield Tip Technology – The advanced polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating, preserving its shape for superior ballistic coefficients throughout the flight path and ensuring reliable expansion on impact.
- InterLock Ring Construction – Mechanically locks the core and jacket together, providing controlled expansion and excellent weight retention: 50-60% at high-velocity impacts (0-400 yards) and 85-90% at lower velocities beyond 400 yards.
- Optimized Aerodynamics – Streamlined secant ogive, boattail design, and highly concentric AMP jackets combine for best-in-class BC values, translating to flatter trajectories, reduced wind drift, and enhanced long-range precision.
- Match-Accurate Hunting Performance – Delivers consistent, devastating expansion at all hunting distances while maintaining the accuracy demanded by precision shooters.
