Hornady ELD-X Bullets in 6mm, 90 grains (Hornady part no. 2441) are a technologically advanced, match-accurate hunting bullet built for consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances. The Heat Shield polymer tip is immune to the aerodynamic heating that can deform a standard polymer tip at high velocity, so it holds its shape and keeps the bullet’s ballistic coefficient at the highest level in its class across the entire trajectory. A streamlined secant-ogive boat-tail design and highly concentric AMP jackets work with a thick jacket shank and a high InterLock ring to keep the core and jacket together, giving 50 to 60 percent weight retention on impact.

Key Specifications

• Chambered for 6mm. matching the bullet diameter to this specific rifle cartridge.
• 90 grain weight. gives handloaders the figure needed to work up an all-range hunting load.
• Heat Shield polymer tip. resists aerodynamic heating so the tip holds its shape and the bullet keeps its ballistic coefficient at range.
• Consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances. the core design goal Hornady built the ELD-X around.
• Streamlined secant-ogive boat-tail design. delivers a class-leading ballistic coefficient for flat, long-range trajectories.
• Highly concentric AMP bullet jacket. supports consistent expansion and accuracy shot to shot.
• Thick jacket shank. works with the InterLock ring to hold the core and jacket together during expansion.
• High InterLock ring. keeps the core and jacket together for 50 to 60 percent weight retention on impact.
• Match-accurate construction. Hornady positions the ELD-X as its technologically advanced, match-accurate hunting bullet.
• Packaged 100 per box. enough for handloaders to develop and confirm an all-range hunting load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Heat Shield tip different from a standard polymer tip? The Heat Shield tip is immune to the aerodynamic heating that can deform a standard polymer tip at high velocity, so it holds its shape and keeps the bullet’s ballistic coefficient consistent over the full trajectory.

How much weight does this bullet retain on impact? The high InterLock ring and thick jacket shank keep the core and jacket together for 50 to 60 percent weight retention.
