Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X 20/200

Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X 20/200

Description

The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X ammunition is designed for hunters seeking high-velocity, accurate, and effective terminal performance at various ranges. This ammunition is ideal for any hunting situation, especially when precision is crucial. The ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip ensures consistent expansion and deep penetration.

Features

The Heat Shield tip on the ELD-X bullet is designed to maintain its shape and resist the effects of aerodynamic heating, retaining its highest-in-class ballistic coefficient over its entire trajectory. This prevents the bullet from deforming under high velocities, providing consistent accuracy and terminal performance. The bullet's streamlined secant ogive and optimal boat-tail design, combined with a highly concentric AMP bullet jacket, enhance its aerodynamic efficiency, ensuring it performs exceptionally well at high velocities and over long ranges.

Upon impact, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet, initiating controlled expansion. This results in a large mushroom and high retained weight, providing deep penetration and large cavities. The thick shank of the jacket and the high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together, ensuring 50-60% weight retention, which is essential for maintaining terminal effectiveness.
