Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm-08 Rem 150 Grain ELD-X Ammunition

Specifications

The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm-08 Rem 150 Grain ELD-X ammunition is designed for hunters seeking high-velocity and match-grade accuracy. Here are the critical specifications:

Bullet Type

The ammunition features the ELD-X (Exponential Limiting Performance) bullet, which is designed to expand consistently and deliver deep penetration. The Heat Shield tip on the bullet ensures aerodynamic efficiency and maintains the bullet's shape even at high velocities.

Grain

The bullet weighs 150 grains, making it suitable for various hunting applications, from medium-sized game to large game.

Caliber

The 7mm-08 Remington caliber offers excellent ballistics and is known for its flat trajectory and high energy retention.

Bullet Velocity

The bullet velocity is 2,770 feet per second, which provides a high kinetic energy transfer at the target, ensuring effective terminal performance.

Bullet Drop

The bullet drop starts at approximately 400 yards, where the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet, initiating expansion. This feature ensures a controlled expansion and deep penetration at extended ranges.

Other Features

• Match-Grade Accuracy: The Precision Hunter ammunition is designed to deliver match-grade accuracy, making it ideal for both hunting and target shooting.
• High Velocity: The high velocity ensures a flat trajectory and excellent energy retention, allowing the bullet to penetrate deeply and consistently.
• Consistent Expansion: The ELD-X bullet expands consistently over its penetration path, providing large cavities and deep penetration.
• High Weight Retention: The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together, ensuring 50-60% weight retention.

Features

Aerodynamic Efficiency

The combination of a streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail design, and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets provides a radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. This ensures that the bullet maintains its shape even at high velocities, retaining its highest-in-class ballistic coefficient over its entire trajectory.

Terminal Performance

• 0-400 Yard Impact: The bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path, providing devastating performance at conventional ranges.
• 400+ Yard Impact: At extended ranges, the Heat Shield tip initiates expansion, resulting in controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight, providing deep penetration and large cavities.

Hunting Applications

The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm-08 Rem 150 Grain ELD-X ammunition is ideal for hunting a wide range of game. Its high-velocity and match-grade accuracy make it suitable for medium-sized game, while its controlled expansion and deep penetration make it effective for hunting larger game at extended ranges.

Conclusion

The Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm-08 Rem 150 Grain ELD-X ammunition offers exceptional performance and versatility for hunters. Its high velocity, match-grade accuracy, and consistent expansion make it an excellent choice for both short- and long-range hunting applications. Whether you are hunting medium-sized game or larger game at extended ranges, this ammunition stands out for its performance and reliability.

Consider purchasing this ammunition for your next hunting adventure and experience the precision and effectiveness it offers.
