Specifications

Caliber

  • .30-06 Springfield

Grain Weight

  • 178 Grain

Bullet Type

  • ELD-X

Velocity

  • Bullet velocity is optimized for high performance at various ranges

Bullet Drop and Trajectory

  • The bullet drop starts at around 400+ yards, with significant drop at longer ranges

Features

Aerodynamic Efficiency

  • The ELD-X bullet features a streamlined secant ogive with an optimum boattail design, highly concentric AMP bullet jackets, and a Heat Shield tip. This combination enhances aerodynamic efficiency, maintaining the highest ballistic coefficient over the entire trajectory.

Terminal Performance

  • At short ranges (0-400 yards), the bullet expands continually throughout its penetration path due to its high velocity. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together, resulting in 50-60% weight retention.
  • At longer ranges (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. This controlled expansion produces a large mushroom with 85-90% retained weight, providing deep penetration and large cavities.

High-Velocity Impact

  • The high velocity of the bullet ensures that it maintains its integrity and expands effectively, even at higher velocities.

Heat Shield Tip

  • The Heat Shield tip is designed to resist the effects of aerodynamic heating, maintaining its shape and performance over the entire trajectory.

AMP Bullet Jackets

  • Highly concentric AMP bullet jackets ensure that the bullet remains aerodynamically efficient and accurate.

InterLock Ring

  • The high InterLock ring ensures that the bullet core and jacket remain together during expansion, providing consistent weight retention.

Ballistics

  • Ballistic coefficient (BC): High, verified by Doppler radar
  • Trajectory: Consistently accurate over extended ranges

Hunting Applications

  • Ideal for hunting at all practical ranges due to its effective terminal performance
