Hornady 3074 ELDX 30 Cal .308 178 gr Extremely Low Drag eXpanding 100 Per Box 15 Case UPC: 090255230741

Conventional polymer tips in high BC bullets melt in flight. Hornady engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined, high BC bullets melt and deform. Although not a significant issue affecting moderate BC conventional tipped varmint and hunting bullets, aerodynamic heating causes BC reduction and degradation of accuracy, particularly at extended ranges (400 yds +). To counter this effect, Hornady identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the patent pending Heat Shield tip. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot.br /br /The Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to provide a perfect meplat (tip) that is always the same shape. A streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design, plus the highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, combined with the patent pending Heat Shield tip creates a supremely accurate, high BC match bullet. ELD-Match bullet BCs are measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions. With high velocity, 0-400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. br /br /The thick shank of the jacket and high Interlock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50-60% weight retention. Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities. This is not loaded ammunition.br /br /Features:br /br /- Heat Shield Tip forms the perfect meplatbr /- No tip deformation from aerodynamic heatingbr /- Match accurate hunting bulletbr /- Devastating terminal performance at all rangesbr /br /Specifications:br /br /- Caliber: 30br /- Bullet Diameter: 0.308br /- Bullet Weight: 178 Grainsbr /- Bullet Style: Polymer Tipped Boat Tailbr /- Bullet Coating: Non-Coated br /- Quantity: 100 Bulletsbr /br /Ballistics Information:br /br /- Sectional Density: 0.268br /- G1 Ballistic Coefficient: 0.535br /- G7 Ballistic Coefficient: 0.271br /br /Note: These are component bullets, not loaded ammunition
