by Hornady · See details on brand website
The Hornady ELD-VT bullet is a highly engineered projectile designed for exceptional performance in both target shooting and hunting applications. Constructed with a premium polymer tip and a secant ogive design, this bullet ensures superior aerodynamic efficiency, minimizing drag and maximizing accuracy. Its jacket design features an advanced boat tail that enhances the ballistic coefficient, providing excellent long-range stability. The ELD-VT exhibits consistent expansion upon impact due to its carefully engineered expansion characteristics, ensuring reliable penetration and lethal wound channels in medium to large game animals such as deer and antelope. Typical weight retention is exceptional, with bullets retaining a significant portion of their mass even after impact, enhancing deep penetration and ethical kills. Suitable for a wide range of calibers, this bullet is especially effective in high-velocity cartridges. Ammo reloaders will appreciate the predictable and precise performance characteristics, contributing to consistent shot placement and confidence during hunts.
