Hornady 22 Cal 80gr ELD-X

The Hornady 22 Cal 80gr ELD-X® (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) Bullet represents the pinnacle of ballistic innovation, combining match-grade accuracy with devastating hunting performance. Engineered for all-range hunting scenarios, this bullet delivers exceptional aerodynamics, controlled expansion, and superior ballistic coefficients for precision shooters and hunters alike.

Unmatched Ballistic Coefficients & Aerodynamic Stability

Featuring Hornady’s Heat Shield™ tip, the ELD-X® bullet maintains its shape throughout flight, eliminating aerodynamic heating effects and ensuring the highest-in-class ballistic coefficient (BC). Verified by Doppler radar testing, this bullet achieves exceptional downrange accuracy and energy retention.

Precision Hunting & Terminal Performance

• Best-in-Class BC – The Heat Shield™ tip and secant ogive profile provide a streamlined, ultra-efficient flight path for superior trajectory and minimal drag.
• Match-Accurate Hunting Bullet – Designed with AMP® bullet jackets, a boattail profile, and optimal weight distribution, this bullet delivers match-grade precision in real-world hunting scenarios.
• Devastating Conventional Range Performance (0-400 yards) – The controlled expansion mechanism ensures a progressive, uniform wound channel, with 50-60% weight retention for deep penetration and lethal energy transfer.
• Superior Extended-Range Terminal Performance (400+ yards) – At lower velocities, the Heat Shield™ tip shifts backward, initiating consistent, controlled expansion, achieving 85-90% weight retention, and creating deep penetration with a substantial mushroom effect.

Engineered for Precision & Lethality

Whether you’re hunting medium-sized game at close range or engaging targets at extended distances, the Hornady 22 Cal 80gr ELD-X® bullet provides the ultimate combination of accuracy, expansion, and energy retention.
