Product Overview
The Hornady Precision Hunter 103gr ELD-X is a hunting load designed for deer-sized game at extended range. The ELD-X bullet uses a heat-resistant polymer tip that maintains its shape during flight, giving it a consistent 0.512 G1 BC. At 3,050 fps, the 103gr bullet shoots flat and retains enough energy for clean kills on whitetail and mule deer past 400 yards. The InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket together for controlled expansion.
Hunters who take longer shots in open country will find this load effective. The 2,127 ft-lbs of muzzle energy drops to around 1,500 ft-lbs at 300 yards, still well above the 1,000 ft-lb threshold most consider minimum for deer. The ELD-X expands reliably from 1,600 fps up to close-range velocities, making it versatile for shots from 50 to 500 yards. This is a good choice for hunters who want one load that handles varied shot distances.
