Hornady 338 Cal 270gr ELD-X

Hornady 338 Cal 270gr ELD-X

The Hornady 338 Cal 270gr ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet delivers uncompromising performance for long-range hunting with precision match-grade accuracy. Designed for hunters who demand versatility and terminal effectiveness across all practical distances, this bullet combines high ballistic performance with controlled expansion and deep penetration. The result is a projectile that performs exceptionally in both high-velocity, close-range impacts and slower, extended-range engagements.

At the heart of its performance is Hornady’s Heat Shield^® tip, which resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout flight. This ensures that the bullet retains the highest possible ballistic coefficient (BC), reducing drag and improving downrange performance. From streamlined shape to jacket design, the 270gr ELD-X is purpose-built to deliver devastating results on large game animals like elk, moose, and bear while maintaining exceptional accuracy from rifles built for long-range precision.

BEST-IN-CLASS BC
Doppler radar-verified, the Heat Shield^® tip resists aerodynamic heating and preserves the bullet’s sleek form. The result is a class-leading ballistic coefficient, extending range and reducing wind drift.

MATCH ACCURATE HUNTING BULLET
The combination of a secant ogive, boattail base, AMP^® jacket, and polymer tip gives the 338 Cal 270gr ELD-X superior aerodynamics and unmatched in-flight stability. It’s ideal for hunters who stretch the limits of ethical shooting distance while expecting sub-MOA accuracy.

DEVASTATING CONVENTIONAL RANGE PERFORMANCE
At high-impact velocities inside 400 yards, the bullet reliably expands throughout its path, transferring massive energy. A thick jacket shank and InterLock^® ring keep the core and jacket together for 50-60% weight retention.

BEST EXTENDED RANGE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE
Beyond 400 yards, where velocity drops, the Heat Shield^® tip initiates expansion by driving back into the core. The bullet mushrooms conventionally and retains 85-90% of its weight, creating deep wound channels and maintaining lethality at long distances.

Whether you’re hunting in dense timber or across vast open country, the Hornady 338 Cal 270gr ELD-X is a trusted performer for hunters who demand accuracy, consistency, and terminal effectiveness at any range.
