30-06 SPRINGFIELD FEDERAL 178 GRAIN ELD-X (20 ROUNDS)

Your ancestry might include plenty of farmers, tradesmen, and men of letters. But if you go back far enough, everyone’s precursors had the same job: hunter.

And you’re following in their footsteps, albeit with a much better weapon than they ever could have dreamt of. You take your meat with the 30-06 rifle – and some of Federal Premium’s very best hunting ammunition.

The Hornady Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding (ELD-X) is a long-range hunting bullet (that you can also use to great effect at close range). It is almost excessively streamlined, starting at its deformation-immune Heat Shield polymer tip and seamlessly transitioning to its AMP jacket’s secant ogive profile. In addition to leveling its trajectory and protecting against wind drift, the ELD-X’s high 0.552 G1 ballistic coefficient ensures authoritative long-distance stopping power: 1,550+ ft lbs at 500 yards, assuming a 24” barrel.

The ELD-X is equipped for short-range impact, too. Its InterLock ring ensures its core and jacket remain planted together, shedding no more than half of their combined weight, within 400 yards. Near or far, the ELD-X reliably lets loose the wide expansion that kills quickly – an act made no less lethal by the bullet’s deep wound channel.
