Description
This 338 Lapua Magnum round from Hornady’s Precision Hunter line of ammunition features its manufacturer’s 270 grain ELD-X projectile. It’s an extremely accurate polymer tipped bullet, the meplat of which resists warping when heated aerodynamically so that it can remain consistently conic. The ELD-X’s distinctive secant ogive shape reduces its bearing surface, and its tapered base works to keep its trajectory flatter downrange. Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket has essentially zero runoff or variation in wall thickness, so it maintains its straight trajectory exceptionally well.
rThis round’s bullet additionally offers Hornady’s InterLock ring, so its core and jacket will remain mechanically locked together even as it penetrates game at relatively high velocities. After having traveled for about 400 yards this round’s projectile will expand even more widely, parting with no less than 15 percent of its weight as it does so. Whatever you could hunt with a 338 Lapua Magnum, you’ll especially enjoy hunting it with this hard-hitting round!r
