This is purpose-built ammunition for hunters who demand accuracy and performance when distance is in play. The 212-grain ELD-X bullet combines a streamlined design with Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process jackets for minimal wall thickness variation, which translates to shot-to-shot consistency that really shows itself when you're dialing in at distance.
The Heat Shield tip does something most hunting rounds don't: it stays intact even as aerodynamic heating tries to deform it during flight. Verified by Doppler radar, this polymer technology maintains the bullet's ballistic coefficient across your entire trajectory, which means flatter shots and less wind drift when you're pushing out beyond 300 yards. At those extended ranges where velocity drops off, the tip drives backward into the core to initiate reliable expansion while the InterLock ring keeps the jacket and core together for 50-60% weight retention.
You're getting ammunition loaded in the .300 Precision Rifle Cartridge, a platform designed from scratch by Hornady for this exact purpose. Unlike older magnum designs that rely on a belt for chamber support, the 300 PRC is non-belted with a 30-degree shoulder that promotes precise chamber alignment and consistent powder ignition. This means factory loads shoot just as tight as custom handloads from a precision rifle.
The case uses temperature-stable magnum powders that remain consistent even when conditions swing from early morning cold to mid-day heat. Each box contains 20 cartridges loaded to deliver 2,860 feet per second with 3,850 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from a 24-inch barrel.
The ELD-X uses a Heat Shield tip made from heat-resistant polymer that stays intact as the bullet travels downrange, maintaining a high ballistic coefficient even as aerodynamic heating occurs. The bullet also features a thin jacket at the tip for expansion and a thicker jacket at the base with an InterLock ring to control expansion while keeping the core and jacket together.
No. The .300 PRC is a different cartridge and won't fit in rifles chambered for .300 Win Mag. Your rifle must be specifically chambered for .300 PRC. If you already own a .300 Win Mag, you'd need a rifle built for the 300 PRC to use this ammunition.
This load delivers sub-MOA accuracy from quality precision rifles and maintains velocity well beyond 600 yards. At ranges over 400 yards where impact velocity drops significantly, the Heat Shield tip initiates expansion while the bullet structure ensures 85-90% weight retention for deep penetration. Field reports show consistent performance on elk and other large game at distances where shot placement is your responsibility.
Yes. Each round uses a brass case with a Boxer primer, so spent brass can be reloaded. The beltless design of the .300 PRC also makes it easier to resize consistently compared to older belted magnum cases.
