Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ELD-X bullet different from standard hunting bullets?
The ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet features Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip, which is engineered to resist aerodynamic heating that can erode conventional polymer tips during flight. This preserves the bullet's ballistic coefficient at long range. The bullet also uses a dual-diameter design and an Interlock ring to deliver controlled expansion with high weight retention across a wide range of impact velocities — from close shots to extended ranges beyond 400 yards.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting elk and larger big game, or is it better suited to deer-sized animals?
The 145 grain ELD-X in 270 Winchester is well-suited for a wide range of North American big game, including whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn, black bear, and elk. The ELD-X bullet's controlled expansion and high weight retention provide the deep penetration needed for larger animals like elk when shots are placed correctly. Hornady specifically designed the Precision Hunter line with these versatile applications in mind.
Can I reload the brass cases from Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition?
Yes. Hornady uses high-quality brass cases that are Boxer-primed and fully reloadable. The cases are made to tight dimensional tolerances, which makes them an excellent starting point for handloading. After firing, simply inspect, resize, deprime, and reload per standard reloading procedures. Many precision handloaders seek out once-fired Hornady brass specifically for its consistent quality and uniform case weight.
