Hornady 243 Cal 6mm 103gr ELD-X

The Hornady 243 Cal 6mm 103gr ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match-accurate hunting option that delivers exceptional performance across all practical distances. Designed for reloaders seeking optimal long-range precision, this .243″ caliber projectile offers one of the highest ballistic coefficients in its class along with reliable expansion and penetration.

BEST-IN-CLASS BC
Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout flight. This preserves a consistently high ballistic coefficient across the bullet’s entire trajectory.

MATCH ACCURATE HUNTING BULLET
A streamlined secant ogive, optimized boattail design, and highly concentric AMP® bullet jacket create superior aerodynamic efficiency. These features, combined with the Heat Shield® tip, make this projectile capable of match-grade precision with devastating hunting performance.

DEVASTATING CONVENTIONAL RANGE PERFORMANCE
On high-velocity impacts inside 400 yards, the bullet expands consistently throughout its penetration path. The thick shank and InterLock® ring help retain 50–60% of the bullet’s weight, ensuring deep penetration and energy transfer.

BEST EXTENDED RANGE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE
At lower velocities beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield® tip compresses into the core to initiate expansion. The bullet retains 85–90% of its weight, producing large wound cavities and consistent performance even at extreme distances.

The Hornady 6mm 103gr ELD-X is a top-tier bullet choice for hunters and reloaders who demand consistent terminal results, even on long-range shots.
