PRECISION HUNTER AMMO 6.5MM CREEDMOOR 143GR ELD-X Reviews & Ratings

Accuracy and terminal performance are the cornerstones of Hornady® Precision Hunter® factory loaded ammunition. Great care has been given by Hornady engineers to develop superior, match-accurate hunting loads that allow the ELD-X® bullet to achieve its maximum ballistic potential.

Propellants used in the Precision Hunter® ammunition line are clean burning and loaded to uniform capacity for consistent shot to shot results regardless of temperature. This attention to detail provides the highest levels of accuracy and performance uniformity for the most demanding and diverse hunting situations.

FEATURES

Featuring the radically superior ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip, Precision Hunter is the ideal load for ANY hunting situation because of its effective terminal performance at ALL practical ranges.
Featuring ELD-X® Bullets with Heat Shield® tip
BEST-IN-CLASS BCS: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory.
MATCH ACCURATE HUNTING BULLET: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
DEVASTATING CONVENTIONAL RANGE PERFORMANCE: 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.
BEST EXTENDED RANGE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE: Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85-90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.

6.5 Creedmoor ammo

I have been shooting these rounds for years. I have killed elk, and several deer this round has never let me down.

Amazingly Accurate!

I shoot this out of an LR308 based gun. So far, I have been unable to match the accuracy with my own reloads. This group in the picture is 3.5in center to center at 500 yards away with a decent crosswind. I'm really happy with it! Looking forward to using it hunting!

Great ammo

Shoots clean, grouping is great, price isn't gouged like most places. I would recommend this ammo to anyone. I use it for closer shots with my 6.5 Creedmoor. I usually don't have to shoot past 300 yards. So I needed something to hit hard close. It puts whitetail deer down easily.

Awsome ammo

Purchased a Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor as a graduation gift for my nephew. Since Ive had such great accuracy with the Hornady Black ammo in my 6.5 Grendel, I decided to try this ammo in his creedmoor. WOW, 1/4" groups at 100yrds. Only 8 shots required to zero. It definitely works in his gun. No since wasting money on other ammo for this gun. Good luck

Very accurate

I shoot these out of an AR10 and I'm getting easy sub-MOA groups. I haven't tried them on game yet, but just from a target shooting standpoint the ballistics on them are great, and they shoot almost the exact same POA as the 140 match from Hornady

Great Ammo

I shot these in a PRS match yesterday after leaving my ammo at home. Another shooter in my group gave me a few boxes to use. This stuff is awesome!!!!
