Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for dedicated big-game hunters using 300 Remington Ultra Magnum rifles who need confident performance on elk, moose, bear, and other large or tough-skinned game — especially at extended ranges where bullet stability and retained energy are critical.

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 exclusive Heat Shield tip, which is engineered to resist aerodynamic heating that can deform conventional polymer tips during flight. This preserves the bullet's high ballistic coefficient over long distances. The bullet's InterLock design and specialized jacket allow reliable expansion across a wide range of impact velocities — from close shots to extended ranges exceeding 400 yards — making it versatile for variable hunting conditions.
Is the 300 RUM suitable for hunting large and dangerous game?
Absolutely. The 300 Remington Ultra Magnum is one of the most powerful commercially available 30-caliber cartridges, and when loaded with a 220-grain ELD-X at 2,910 fps, it generates over 4,100 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. This makes it an excellent choice for elk, moose, brown bear, and other large or tough-skinned North American big game. The heavy-for-caliber 220-grain bullet also retains energy exceptionally well at distance, making it ideal for open-country hunting.
Can I use this ammunition for long-range target shooting as well as hunting?
While Hornady Precision Hunter is primarily designed for ethical, effective big-game hunting, the match-grade quality of the loads — including consistent powder charges, premium brass, and high-BC ELD-X projectiles — makes this ammunition accurate enough for precision range work and load verification. Hunters often use it to confirm zero and practice at distance before a hunt. For dedicated competition shooting, Hornady's Match line with ELD-M bullets would be the more appropriate choice.
