280 ACKLEY IMPROVED HORNADY PRECISION HUNTER 162 GRAIN ELD-X (20 ROUNDS)

Finally – a factory-loaded 280 Ackley Improved hunting round that doesn’t feel like a compromise! Hornady loads their Precision Hunter series ammunition at their Nebraska headquarters with their highest-quality components and fiercest attention to detail, so you can wield your favorite 280 AI rifle with confidence the next time you set out in search of venison.

The ELD-X is always a great pick for taking medium and large game. Its InterLock ring ensures that it retains at least half of its weight after striking its target within a range of 400 yards, and weight retention increases up to 90% at longer distances. And unlike the ELD, the ELD-X is designed for rapid and deadly terminal expansion.

The ELD-X wouldn’t disappoint if you were only looking for a long-distance target bullet. Between its immutable Heat Shield tip, flawlessly concentric Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, optimally angled boat tail and sleek secant ogive jacket profile, the ELD-X has everything it needs to conserve velocity and stability hundreds of yards downrange. Hornady’s posted 2,850 fps muzzle velocity was measured with a 24” test barrel; they also report ballistic coefficients of G1 0.631 and G7 0.318.
