Practical Benefits
- 178 grain ELD-X bullet offers ideal weight for 308 Winchester to balance flat trajectory with energy retention on medium to large game
- Heat Shield technology ensures the bullet flies true and maintains accuracy potential at distances beyond 400 yards where conventional tips degrade
- Devastating expansion at 0 to 400 yards provides large wound cavities and quick humane kills on whitetail, mule deer, and black bear
- Controlled expansion at 400 plus yards drives the tip backward to initiate mushrooming even at reduced impact velocities for reliable performance on distant shots
- Match-grade accuracy makes this ammunition equally effective for precision target shooting and load development verification
- Consistent shot to shot performance across temperature extremes ensures reliable point of impact from early season heat to late season cold
- High ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift and drop for easier holdovers on mountain hunts or prairie shooting
- Reloadable brass cases provide value for shooters who handload their own ammunition
