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 withstand the aerodynamic heating that occurs during flight — a problem that causes standard polymer tips to deform and reduce accuracy at long range. Combined with a high ballistic coefficient and an Interlock ring that bonds the core to the jacket, the ELD-X delivers reliable, controlled expansion from close range out to the limits of practical hunting distance, making it one of the most versatile big-game hunting bullets available.
Is Hornady Precision Hunter 338 Win Mag suitable for hunting elk and moose?
Absolutely. The 338 Winchester Magnum is widely regarded as one of the premier elk and moose cartridges in North America, and the 230 gr ELD-X load amplifies that reputation. With over 4,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, a high BC for retained velocity at distance, and the ELD-X's deep-penetrating, controlled-expansion design, this load is more than capable of cleanly taking the largest North American big game animals at ranges from point-blank out to 500+ yards in the hands of a skilled shooter.
Can I reload the brass from Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition?
Yes. Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition is loaded in high-quality brass cases using Boxer primers, making the spent cases fully reloadable. The brass is manufactured to tight tolerances, which means once-fired cases are excellent candidates for handloading — especially useful for shooters who want to replicate or refine this load's performance using premium components like Hornady ELD-X bullets.
