Hornady Precision Hunter Ammunition 300 Remington Ultra Magnum 220 Grain ELD-X 20RD

The Hornady Precision Hunter 300 Remington Ultra Magnum ammunition is engineered for hunters who demand match-grade accuracy and reliable terminal performance across the full range of practical hunting distances. Loaded with Hornady's ELD-X bullet—a 220-grain projectile designed to deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration whether you're shooting across an open meadow or at extended range—this factory ammunition represents serious long-range hunting capability in one of the most powerful standard magnum calibers.

What sets Precision Hunter apart is the deliberate engineering behind every round. Hornady's propellant selection and uniform powder charges ensure consistent velocity and accuracy from shot to shot, regardless of temperature swings in the field. The ELD-X bullet itself features a streamlined design with a secant ogive and boattail that maximize aerodynamic efficiency, verified by Doppler radar testing. The patented Heat Shield tip is the key innovation: at close range (0–400 yards), the bullet expands reliably with 50–60% weight retention for deep, controlled penetration. At extended range (400+ yards), lower impact velocity causes the Heat Shield to drive backward into the bullet core, initiating expansion that produces a large mushroom and 85–90% weight retention—critical for energy transfer and wound channel depth when velocity has dropped.

This is factory ammunition built for the shooter who understands that long-range hunting requires precision, predictability, and a bullet that performs across the velocity spectrum. Twenty rounds per box means you get a solid practice and field supply without excess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hornady Precision Hunter 300 RUM ammunition suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 220-grain ELD-X bullet is specifically designed for long-range performance. The Heat Shield tip and high ballistic coefficient allow consistent expansion at extended range (400+ yards), where lower velocity would normally compromise terminal performance. The factory ammunition's consistent loading also supports the accuracy required for distant shots.

What is the Heat Shield tip and how does it improve performance?

The Heat Shield is a patented tip that resists aerodynamic heating over long distances, helping the bullet maintain its shape and ballistic coefficient throughout flight. At extended range, it also drives backward upon impact to initiate expansion, producing a large mushroom and high weight retention for deep penetration and effective energy transfer.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition.

What weight retention can I expect?

At close range (0–400 yards), expect 50–60% weight retention with reliable expansion. At extended range (400+ yards), the bullet retains 85–90% of its weight, providing deep penetration and large wound channels.
