Description
This 257 Weatherby Magnum cartridge from Hornady’s Precision Hunter line of ammunition is one that truly lives up to its name. It is precise not only because of the supporting components that make a Hornady round a Hornady, but also its 110 grain Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding (ELD-X) projectile. The bullet’s tip is a proprietary Heat Shield, a pointed column of special polymer which won’t melt in the least when subjected to the fastest muzzle velocities. The ELD-X further sports Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket with virtually no deviation in its concentricity, the ideal boat tail for its caliber, and an aerodynamic secant ogive profile.
rThe ELD-X delivers stellar terminal performance no matter the distance it must cover as well. Even when it strikes its target at a high velocity, the ELD-X’s InterLock ring keeps its components snugly together that they may shed no less than half their combined weight — at lower velocity impact that retention regularly approaches upwards of 85 percent. The ELD-X’s tip commences massive expansion as well, creating the wound cavity you need to turn buck into trophy with a single shot.
