The Hornady Precision Hunter .257 Weatherby Magnum 110 Grain ELD-X Ammo – 81364 is meticulously crafted for hunters who demand superior performance and reliability. Utilizing clean-burning propellants, this ammunition achieves a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, ensuring flat trajectories and effective energy transfer. The 110-grain ELD-X® bullet features a streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, and a Heat Shield® tip that resists aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape for the highest-in-class ballistic coefficients. This design results in match-grade accuracy and consistent expansion across all practical hunting distances.
Upon high-velocity impacts (0-400 yards), the bullet exhibits controlled expansion throughout its penetration path, with a thick jacket shank and high InterLock® ring ensuring 50-60% weight retention. For low-velocity impacts (beyond 400 yards), the Heat Shield® tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion, creating a large mushroom with 85-90% weight retention, providing deep penetration and large wound cavities. Each cartridge is assembled with select brass casings, reliable primers, and carefully matched powders, ensuring consistent ignition and optimal performance. Stringent quality control measures guarantee proper bullet seating, consistent charges, and pressures, resulting in lot-to-lot consistency you can trust. Designed to perform in a variety of hunting situations, this ammunition offers the accuracy and terminal performance needed for ethical and effective harvests. Packaged in a 20-round box, it is an excellent choice for your next hunting expedition.
