Hornady Precision Hunter Ammunition 270 Winchester 145 Grain ELD-X 20RD

The Hornady Precision Hunter 270 Winchester ammunition loads the company's ELD-X bullet—a modern hunting round built for consistent expansion and terminal performance across the effective hunting range. Loaded with 145-grain ELD-X bullets at factory velocities, this 20-round box delivers the ballistic efficiency and controlled expansion you need for deer, elk, and similar game at distances from point-blank to well beyond 400 yards.

The ELD-X bullet design centers on three proven features: a Heat Shield polymer tip that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains ballistic coefficient throughout the flight, a streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail for flat trajectories and minimal wind drift, and concentric jacket construction that keeps the core and jacket together during expansion. At close range (0–400 yards), the bullet expands progressively as it penetrates, retaining 50–60% of its weight. At longer range, the Heat Shield tip is designed to collapse into the bullet body to initiate expansion at lower impact velocities, resulting in a large mushroom and 85–90% weight retention for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance.

Precision Hunter ammo pairs proven bullet technology with match-grade handloaded accuracy. If you hunt with a 270 Winchester and want a single load that performs reliably from the 100-yard zero to distant shots, this ammunition is purpose-built for that role. Each box contains 20 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Precision Hunter 270 ammunition good for long-range hunting?

Yes. The ELD-X bullet is designed to perform at extended range by using a Heat Shield tip that initiates expansion at lower impact velocities. Combined with the high ballistic coefficient, Precision Hunter loads are built for hunting situations where longer shots are likely.

What game is this 270 Winchester ammo suitable for?

The 145-grain ELD-X is intended for medium to large game hunting, including deer and elk. The terminal performance—expansion and weight retention—is tailored for these applications across practical hunting distances.

What is the Heat Shield tip and how does it work?

The Heat Shield is a polymer tip that resists the effects of aerodynamic heating during flight, helping the bullet maintain its ballistic shape and coefficient over the entire trajectory. At extended range and lower impact velocities, the Heat Shield tip collapses into the bullet body to initiate reliable expansion.

How much does each box contain?

Each box of Precision Hunter contains 20 rounds.
