Special Features
- Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating so the tip keeps its shape and maintains a very high ballistic coefficient over the full flight path.
- Streamlined secant ogive and optimized boat tail geometry deliver very low drag, giving you match-grade external ballistics in a heavy hunting bullet.
- Thick shank and InterLock ring help keep core and jacket together, providing controlled expansion and strong 50 to 60 percent weight retention at higher impact speeds.
- At extended range, the tip drives back into the core to initiate expansion, producing a large mushroom and deep penetration even at lower impact velocities.
- ELD-X construction is tuned as an all-range hunting solution, with reliable terminal performance from close timber encounters to long open country shots.

- Hornady ELD-X 30 Cal .308 200 Grain (3076) fits hunters who want a heavy 30 caliber bullet for elk, moose, and similar game in cartridges such as 300 Win Mag, 300 PRC, and other magnum and nonmagnum 30s.
- The 200 grain weight, high BC, and .308 diameter profile pair well with common 1 in 10 twist barrels, helping your loads stay stable, buck wind, and carry energy a long way downrange.
- High sectional density, controlled expansion, and strong retained weight work together to create deep wound channels and broad internal damage, which supports quick, ethical harvests on larger-bodied animals.
- With 100 bullets per box, you can develop a trusted hunting load, verify drops at multiple ranges, and still have enough projectiles for one or more demanding big game seasons.
- If you want a 30 caliber hunting bullet that blends long-range aerodynamics with dependable all-range terminal behavior, Hornady ELD-X 30 Cal .308 200 Grain Bullets (3076) are a proven platform for serious medium and large game hunters.
