Details
The 270 Win is one of the greatest hunting cartridges of all time. That makes Hornady’s Precision Hunter ammunition some of the greatest hunting ammo you’re apt to find, because these bad boys give you the awesome precision and stopping power of the ELD-X projectile!
This round’s 145 grain bullet hates drag and does everything in its power to avoid creating it. Its Heat Shield polymer tip cannot warp and become misshapen while it is fried by air friction. Its AMP jacket is a vision of concentricity. Its boat tail minimizes drag even further, which amplifies its G7 ballistic coefficient to 0.270 – very fitting for a 270 hunting load, we think you’ll agree! By Hornady’s own measure, the 145gr ELD-X will bow down to -6.5” at 300 yards after reaching a 200 yard zero (they recorded that figure with a 24” barrel and 1.5” sight height).
The ELD-X isn’t just aerodynamic. It is also a tough cookie, as the InterLock ring which mechanically binds its core and jacket together doesn't let the ELD-X shed more than half of its weight upon striking a quarry within 400 yards. Over longer distances, the ELD-X will hold on to as much as 90% of its weight to further ensure a deep and thoroughly deadly wound column.
