Hornady 3076 30cal .308 200gr ELD-X /100

Conventional polymer tips in high BC bullets melt in flight. Hornady engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined high BC bullets melt and deform. Although not a significant issue affecting moderate BC conventional tipped varmint and hunting bullets aerodynamic heating causes BC reduction and degradation of accuracy particularly at extended ranges (400 yds +). To counter this effect Hornady identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the patent pending Heat Shield tip. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot.

The Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to provide a perfect meplat (tip) that is always the same shape. A streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design plus the highly concentric AMP bullet jackets combined with the patent pending Heat Shield tip creates a supremely accurate high BC match bullet. ELD-Match bullet BCs are measured with Doppler radar and corrected to standard atmospheric conditions. 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. 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.
