6.5 CREEDMOOR HORNADY PRECISION HUNTER 143 GRAIN ELD-X (200 ROUNDS)

About This Hornady 6.5MM CREEDMOOR Ammunition

This 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is from Hornady’s Precision Hunter line of ammunition, and it features the Nebraskan manufacturer’s 143 grain ELD-X projectile. This bullet is designed to create devastating terminal performance no matter the velocity at which it makes impact. At 400 or fewer yards, the ELD-X’s InterLock ring assures that its heavy jacket and core remain together for weight retention as great as 60 percent; at longer distances, its polymer tip initiates wide mushrooming with weight retention as optimal as 90 percent.

The ELD-X’s polymer tip isn’t just any polymer tip -- it’s the patented Heat Shield tip, which is specially crafted to resist the effects of aerodynamic heating so that it can always maintain its perfectly pointed and symmetrical meplat. The bullet’s intense accuracy is further bolstered by its highly concentric AMP jacket, the tapered base of its boat tail design, and its aerodynamic secant ogive profile.

Precision Hunter ammunition works well in any weather, as its propellant is specially formulated to create an optimum chamber pressure regardless of the temperature in which it is ignited. This premium hunting round further offers a non-corrosive Boxer primer and factory fresh brass casing. Your hunt may present great difficulties, but if you select this round that won’t be the fault of your ammo.
