The Hornady 30 Cal 178 GR ELD-X 3074 is engineered to provide unmatched long-range performance and reliable expansion. The Heat Shield™ tip resists aerodynamic heating, ensuring consistent bullet shape and trajectory for optimal ballistic coefficient retention. The secant ogive and optimized boat tail design further reduce drag and wind drift, improving long-range precision.
Designed for big game hunting, the ELD-X Extremely Low Drag – Expanding bullet expands reliably at both high and low velocities, thanks to its InterLock® ring, which keeps the core and jacket together for deep penetration. Whether hunting whitetail, elk, or moose, the Hornady 3074 ELD-X provides exceptional stopping power at short and extended ranges.
