Hornady® Precision Hunter™ 6.5 Creedmoor 143 Grain Hunter Rifle Ammo delivers match-grade accuracy with a high-tech, expanding hunting bullet—the ELD-X™ (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding). ELD-X™ bullets have extremely high ballistic coefficients, secant ogives, and a boattail design for an exceedingly streamlined and aerodynamic shape to reduce air drag, minimizing bullet drop and wind drift. To counter the effect of heat deformation to the polymer tips, Hornady developed the Heat Shield™ tip, made from heat-resistant polymer, which maintains the bullet's aerodynamics for ultimate accuracy. ELD-X Rifle Bullets have a thin jacket at the tip to initiate expansion, and a thicker jacket at the base that is combined with an Interlock® ring to keep the core and jacket together to control expansion for optimum weight retention and deep penetration. Hornady Precision Hunter Rifle Ammo is made to deliver consistent ignition over a wide range of temperature extremes, and devastating terminal performance well beyond 400 yards.

Product Features

Featuring the radically superior ELD-­X bullet with Heat Shield tip, Precision Hunter is the ideal load for ANY hunting situation because of its effective terminal performance at ALL practical ranges.

Featuring ELD­-X® Bullets with Heat Shield® tip

BEST­-IN-­CLASS BCS

Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in­-class BC over its entire trajectory.

MATCH ACCURATE HUNTING BULLET

Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.

DEVASTATING CONVENTIONAL RANGE PERFORMANCE

With high velocity, 0-­400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50­-60% weight retention.

BEST EXTENDED RANGE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE

Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85­-90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
