Discover the precision and versatility of the Hornady 7mm .284 162 gr ELD-X bullets, engineered for serious hunters and reloaders seeking reliable performance across all practical shooting distances. These 100-count projectiles combine advanced aerodynamics with proven terminal ballistics, making them an ideal choice for 7mm rifle loads where accuracy and controlled expansion are essential.
Advanced Design for Superior Ballistics
- Heat Shield tip maintains its shape despite aerodynamic heating, delivering highest-in-class ballistic coefficients verified by Doppler radar for flat trajectories and wind resistance.
- Streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail, and highly concentric AMP jackets enhance aerodynamic efficiency for match-grade accuracy in a hunting bullet.
- Designed for 1:9.5″ twist barrels, ensuring stable flight in compatible 7mm firearms.
Reliable Terminal Performance
At conventional ranges (0-400 yards), the ELD-X expands consistently through its penetration path while retaining 50-60% of its weight thanks to the thick jacket shank and InterLock ring. Beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield tip initiates expansion on lower-velocity impacts, producing a large mushroom with 85-90% weight retention for deep penetration and effective wound channels.
Why Choose Hornady ELD-X Bullets
- All-range hunting capability eliminates the need for multiple bullet types, simplifying your reloading setup.
- Match-accurate construction supports tight groups at extended distances without sacrificing expansion reliability.
- Non-lead-free polymer-tipped design provides the balance of velocity retention and terminal effect demanded by ethical hunters.
