Western hunters who routinely take shots past 300 yards need a load that performs at the impact velocities those distances produce — not just at full muzzle velocity from a bench. Hornady Precision Hunter 300 Win Mag 178gr ELD-X is built around that requirement.
The ELD-X's Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic deformation in flight, preserving the published ballistic coefficient at long range where standard polymer tips have already deformed. The InterLock ring keeps jacket and core together on close-range high-velocity impacts, while the bullet still expands reliably at the reduced velocities of longer shots. At 178 grains, this ELD-X load prioritizes downrange retained energy over flat trajectory — suited to larger game at extended hunting distances in 300 Win Mag.
- Caliber: 300 Win Mag
- Bullet Weight: 178gr
- Bullet Type: ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag — Expanding)
- Application: Medium and large game, extended range
- Quantity: Box of 20
- Origin: Made in USA
Designed for long-action bolt-action rifles. 300 Win Mag remains one of the most versatile and widely available magnum cartridges for hunting. Verify magazine OAL compatibility with the ELD-X's longer profile in semi-automatic hunting platforms before the season.
Brass is selected for wall thickness and internal volume consistency, then loaded to pressure and velocity specs optimized for the ELD-X's bearing surface and seating depth. Point of impact is consistent within and across production lots.
Built for long-range hunting, elk and large-game applications, and extended-range precision. Engineered to handle the wide range of shot distances, angles, and game sizes that serious hunters actually encounter rather than the single idealized scenario that most ammunition is designed around.
Hornady Precision Hunter is loaded at the Grand Island, Nebraska facility to the tolerances that hunters worldwide have come to rely on for clean, ethical kills.
