Deep Dive

Overview

The Hornady Precision Hunter 338 Lapua Magnum Ammunition is meticulously crafted to meet the demanding needs of big game hunters and long-range shooting enthusiasts. The large caliber, combined with the advanced ELD-X bullet design, makes it perfect for precision shots at extended distances, ideal for hunting large game such as elk and moose. The ammunition's high ballistic coefficient ensures a flatter trajectory, higher retained velocity, and more energy on impact, which are essential for ethical hunting operations where a clean kill is necessary.

History and Development

Hornady has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality ammunition. The Precision Hunter line represents a significant advancement in hunting ammo due to the integration of ELD-X bullets. These bullets were developed to address the shortcomings of traditional bullet tips that can deform at high speeds, leading to inaccuracies. The heat shield technology used in ELD-X bullets resists deformation, maintaining the bullet's shape and integrity during flight. The continuous development at Hornady reflects their commitment to innovating and refining ammunition technology to meet the evolving standards of hunters and shooters worldwide.

Common Questions and FAQs

  • What is the expansion range of the ELD-X bullet?
    The ELD-X bullet is designed to expand reliably at both low and high velocities, providing controlled expansion over a wide range of distances.
  • Can this ammunition be used for target shooting?
    While primarily designed for hunting, the high precision and accuracy make it suitable for long-range target shooting as well.
  • How does the heat shield tip improve bullet performance?
    The heat shield tip prevents deformation from aerodynamic heating, preserving the bullet's shape and ensuring a consistent and stable flight path.
  • Is this ammunition compatible with all 338 Lapua Magnum rifles?
    Yes, this ammunition is compatible with all rifles chambered for 338 Lapua Magnum, ensuring versatile use in different firearm platforms.
  • How is this ammunition packaged, and are bulk options available?
    This ammunition is typically sold in 20-round boxes. Bulk purchasing options are available and may offer cost savings, especially for high-volume shooters.
  • What makes the ELD-X bullet different from other expanding bullets?
    The ELD-X bullet combines a high ballistic coefficient with controlled expansion, offering superior accuracy and on-target performance compared to standard expanding bullets.

Perfect Fit for:

  • Medium Game / Large Game

Why It Stands Out:

For those seeking unmatched accuracy and power for big game hunting, the Hornady Precision Hunter 338 Lapua Magnum Ammunition with its 270 Grain ELD-X bullet is a top choice. Combining high muzzle velocity and energy with advanced bullet design, it's well-suited for demanding hunting scenarios. Additionally, the reloadable brass casing and boxer primer add reliability and value, catering to both hunters and precision shooters. With Hornady's dedication to quality and innovation, this ammunition is equipped to deliver exceptional performance in the field.

I am shooting this through a Christensen Precision 338 Lapua rifle and the gun likes this ammo. It shoots well under 1 MOA. Target sports had the best price I have found so far. They have been a great delivery ammo service for multiple transactions for me. Highly recommended.
