Hornady Precision Hunter Ammunition 280 Remington 150 Grain ELD-X 20RD

Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition in 280 Remington delivers match-grade accuracy and reliable terminal performance across the full spectrum of hunting ranges. Built on the ELD-X bullet platform—engineered with a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains ballistic coefficient throughout the flight path—this factory-loaded 150-grain round combines the precision reloader's attention to detail with the convenience of premium off-the-shelf ammunition. Whether you're stalking elk at moderate distance or making a longer shot across an open ridge, Precision Hunter gives you confidence in both shot placement and performance on game.

The ELD-X bullet's design works hard to earn that confidence. Its streamlined secant ogive, optimized boattail, and concentrically formed jacket jackets create a ballistically efficient package backed by Doppler radar verification. At close to moderate range—the 0–400 yard zone—the bullet expands progressively as it penetrates, retaining 50–60% of its weight while generating the trauma needed for clean, quick kills. The thick jacket shank and Interlock ring keep core and jacket locked together, preventing fragmentation and ensuring consistent expansion.

Extended-range shooters get equally thoughtful engineering. When velocity drops at 400+ yards, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet body to initiate expansion even at modest impact speeds. The result is a large mushroom with 85–90% weight retention, deep penetration, and a wound cavity that doesn't rely on velocity alone to work. That performance envelope—devastating at close range, reliable at distance—is why Precision Hunter has become a staple for hunters who refuse to compromise on either accuracy or terminal ballistics. Each box contains 20 rounds, loaded to uniform specifications for consistency across your entire hunt.
