This is serious ammunition for serious hunting. Weatherby Select Plus ammunition loaded with Hornady's ELD-X bullets represents a marriage of two world-class names in precision ammunition. The 220-grain bullet is moving out at 3050 feet per second, generating 4544 foot-pounds of energy from a standard 26-inch barrel.
The .30-378 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest production .30-caliber cartridge available, making it ideal for hunters who need to reach beyond typical hunting distances. Whether you're chasing elk across open country, glassing for mule deer in high elevations, or planning a long-range mountain hunt, this load delivers what it promises: flat-shooting performance and retained energy at extreme distances.
Hornady engineered the ELD-X specifically to work across a wide range of hunting scenarios. The Heat Shield tip maintains its shape throughout flight, preserving ballistic coefficient and accuracy even at extended ranges where temperature changes can affect conventional polymer-tipped bullets. At impact, whether you're at 100 yards or 700 yards, the bullet initiates controlled expansion with the InterLock ring keeping the core and jacket together. You get deep penetration with 50-60% weight retention, meaning reliable performance on medium to large game without the explosive over-expansion that can waste meat or result in poor tracking conditions.
At typical .30-378 velocities, heavier projectiles like this 220-grainer perform more predictably than lighter options. This load sits right in the sweet spot where the cartridge excels, especially on game beyond 300 yards. Retain enough velocity at 1000 yards to maintain effectiveness on elk-sized game. The brass is quality Weatherby case stock, and Hornady's loading maintains consistent pressures shot to shot. You get 20 rounds per box, enough for field application or practicing your long-range holds without constantly restocking.
Yes. The 220-grain ELD-X maintains velocity and energy retention well beyond typical hunting ranges. The .30-378 Weatherby Magnum platform is specifically designed for extended-range hunting, and this load delivers consistent performance on medium to large game. At 500 yards, you're still carrying well over 3000 foot-pounds of energy.
This load is versatile across North American and some African game. It works well on elk, moose, mule deer, and sheep when you match your shots to proper range. The 220-grain weight gives you reliable performance on tougher animals at distance. Avoid using this on smaller game like antelope at close range where velocity might be excessive.
The Hornady ELD-X is designed to expand consistently from close range to extreme distance. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating that can degrade performance in conventional polymer-tipped bullets, especially beyond 400 yards. It provides controlled expansion with good weight retention across a wide velocity window, making it practical for real hunting scenarios.
Yes, this ammunition is loaded to SAAMI standard pressures and will function safely in any .30-378 Weatherby Magnum rifle. That said, your individual rifle may shoot one load better than another. Take time to verify accuracy with your specific gun before committing to a hunt.
