Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition in .300 Remington Ultra Magnum (brand part no. 8209) loads a 220-grain ELD-X bullet built for hunters who need dependable expansion across the widest possible range of impact velocities. The ELD-X pairs a Heat Shield tip, engineered not to melt or deform from friction heat the way ordinary polymer tips can, with an InterLock band that locks the jacket to the core for consistent, controlled expansion from close range to extended distance. A .650 G1 ballistic coefficient and a .331 sectional density give this bullet flat trajectory and deep-penetrating authority in one 220-grain package. For .300 RUM hunters who cannot predict the range of their shot before they take it, this rifle ammunition is built for exactly that uncertainty.
