Hornady Precision Hunter Ammunition 300 Weatherby Magnum 200 Grain ELD-X 20RD

The Hornady Precision Hunter 300 Weatherby Magnum ammunition pairs exacting factory-loaded consistency with a 200-grain ELD-X bullet engineered for both close-range power and extended-range precision. Built for hunters who demand match-grade accuracy from their hunting rifle, this load combines clean-burning propellants, uniform powder charges, and meticulous quality control to deliver shot-to-shot performance regardless of hunting conditions or temperature swings. Whether you're glassing a mountain valley or waiting on your best opportunity, Precision Hunter gives you the terminal reliability and ballistic predictability that separate ethical shots from risky ones.

The ELD-X bullet at the heart of this load is designed to handle the full spectrum of hunting scenarios. Its Heat Shield tip—verified by Doppler radar—resists the aerodynamic heating that degrades accuracy at extended range, maintaining a best-in-class ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's flight. The streamlined secant ogive, optimized boattail, and highly concentric AMP jacket work together to cut through wind and distance with minimal velocity loss, keeping your point of impact predictable from 50 yards to 400-plus yards.

Terminal performance shifts intelligently with impact velocity. At traditional hunting ranges—under 400 yards—the bullet's high velocity triggers aggressive controlled expansion, retaining 50–60% of its weight while punching deep and creating a wide wound cavity. Beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield tip collapses rearward to initiate expansion at lower impact speeds, still delivering 85–90% weight retention, deep penetration, and devastating wound characteristics. This makes Precision Hunter ammunition effective on medium game (50–300 lbs) and large game (300–1500 lbs) across North America's toughest hunting terrain.

Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition, so you get consistent performance without handloading variables—just grab a box, trust the load, and focus on the hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is this 300 Weatherby Magnum ammunition suitable for?

Precision Hunter 300 Weatherby Magnum is engineered for medium game ranging from 50–300 pounds and large game from 300–1500 pounds. The 200-grain ELD-X bullet delivers the terminal performance and penetration needed for elk, moose, and other large North American game at hunting ranges and beyond.

How does the ELD-X bullet perform at long range?

The Heat Shield tip is designed to resist aerodynamic heating and maintain its shape, preserving a best-in-class ballistic coefficient across the bullet's entire flight. At extended range (400+ yards), the tip drives rearward into the bullet to initiate controlled expansion with 85–90% weight retention, ensuring deep penetration and lethal wound characteristics even after velocity degradation.

Is this ammunition factory loaded?

Yes. Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition is factory loaded with clean-burning propellants, uniform powder charges, and match-grade quality control. Each round is loaded to consistent specifications so you get reliable performance shot to shot without the variables of handloading.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of 300 Weatherby Magnum ammunition.
