Hornady Hunter, 270 Winchester Short Magnum, Eld-X, 145 Grain, 20 Rounds

The Hornady Precision Hunter series 270 WSM 145 gr ELD-X marries long-range ballistics and dependable terminal performance for serious hunters who demand results in the field, and if you hunt big game at extended distances the ELD-X bullet with patent-pending Heat Shield tip and verified best-in-class ballistic coefficients (measured by Doppler radar) delivers flatter trajectories and retained downrange energy, launching at about 3100 fps and generating roughly 3094 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Youll notice the match-accurate secant ogive and boattail geometry combined with concentric AMP jackets and the InterLock ring produce consistent groups and controlled expansion, giving 5060% weight retention on conventional-range impacts and 8590% retention with deep penetration on low-velocity, longer-range hits where the Heat Shield tip drives inward to initiate wide, reliable mushrooming. This Precision Hunter offering in 270 Winchester Short Magnum is aimed at field use across mountain, plains, and mixed-terrain hunts where trajectory, retained energy, and repeatable shot-to-shot performance matter, and the ELD-X bullets aerodynamic efficiency and terminal design make it an excellent choice for ethically taking deer-sized to larger game at practical and extended ranges.
