Speed has always been the .25-06 Remington’s calling card. Hornady Precision Hunter .25-06 Remington 110-grain ELD-X ammunition (brand part no. 8143) puts a genuinely modern hunting bullet behind that velocity, pairing a high-BC design with dependable terminal performance. The 110-grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet wears a Heat Shield polymer tip engineered to resist the aerodynamic heating that robs ordinary polymer tips of their ballistic coefficient during a long, fast flight. Inside about 400 yards the bullet expands continuously as it penetrates; farther out, the impact itself drives the Heat Shield tip rearward into the core to start expansion even as velocity bleeds off. A thick jacket shank and Hornady’s InterLock ring hold the core and jacket together through that process, so the bullet retains 50 to 90 percent of its weight and still reaches vitals cleanly. Hunters who want a flat-shooting cartridge that still handles deer-sized game with authority will find this load a strong addition to our rifle ammunition lineup.
Key Specifications
- The caliber is .25-06 Remington, known for flat trajectory and some of the highest velocities in a hunting rifle cartridge.
- The bullet weighs 110 grains, a lighter payload that maximizes the cartridge’s already high velocity.
- The bullet is Hornady’s ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag-eXpanding), built for a high ballistic coefficient and dependable expansion.
- The Heat Shield polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating, so the bullet keeps its ballistic coefficient over a long, fast flight.
- Inside roughly 400 yards, the bullet expands continuously through the wound channel for rapid energy transfer.
- At longer range, the Heat Shield tip drives rearward into the bullet on impact to trigger expansion despite reduced velocity.
- The InterLock ring bonds jacket to core, so the bullet retains between 50 and 90 percent of its weight after impact.
- The case is brass, supporting reliable extraction and consistent chambering.
- Each box holds 20 rounds, with 10 boxes packed per case for hunters stocking up before the season.
- At roughly $1.47 per round, the price reflects the Heat Shield-tipped ELD-X bullet construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the .25-06 Remington fast enough to flatten trajectory at distance? Yes, the .25-06 is known for high velocity, and the 110-grain ELD-X pairs that speed with a high ballistic coefficient for a flat trajectory.
Will a 110-grain bullet handle deer-sized game? Yes, the ELD-X is engineered for controlled expansion and enough penetration for deer and similarly sized game.
Does the Heat Shield tip affect accuracy? It helps preserve the bullet’s ballistic coefficient at range by resisting the aerodynamic heating that deforms ordinary polymer tips, supporting more consistent accuracy at distance.
