HORNADY 6MM (.243) 103gr BULLET ELD X 100/BX
Product Information
The ELD-X® (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, ALL-RANGE hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at ALL practical hunting distances.
- BEST-IN-CLASS BCS: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield® tip is immune to 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.
- ELD-X bullets are available in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
- 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 conventional expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound cavities.
This is not loaded ammunition.

6mm creed
By Tony C. on Feb 22, 2023
Haven't had the opportunity to hunt with these yet, but right out of the gates in load testing these bullets wanted to shoot in this gun. Have used Hornady bullets off and on for years and have always been satisfied.
Excellent 500 Yard Expansion
By James W. on Jan 06, 2022
I tried these in a 6mm BR Norma, for some long distance predator control. At 524 yards, 1999.6 fps calculated by Strelok they were explosive. Almost as accurate as a standard ELD.
Excellent bullet

I use this bullet over R16 in my 6mm Creedmoor. Very accurate and no problems killing last years buck at 380 yards.

Like a previous comment, I have not used them yet. Still waiting for the dies and reliable loading data. Expect great results.
