Hornady Precision Hunter .338 Lapua Magnum 270 Grain ELD-X Ammo – 500 Rounds

Hornady Precision Hunter .338 Lapua Magnum 270 Grain ELD-X is built for shooters who need serious long-range performance without giving up hunting reliability. It combines match-grade accuracy with controlled expansion, making it one of Hornady’s most capable big-game long-range loads.

This 500-round supply is ideal for hunters and precision shooters who want a consistent, high-performance cartridge for both practice and field use.

Built for Real Hunting Distances

The 270 grain ELD-X bullet is designed to stay stable and effective across a wide range of distances. It flies efficiently thanks to its high ballistic coefficient (G1 0.757), helping it resist wind drift and retain energy downrange.

At closer ranges, it expands quickly for strong energy transfer. At longer ranges, it’s engineered to still expand reliably, which is a key advantage for extended-distance hunting with the .338 Lapua platform.

Consistency You Can Feel in the Field

This Precision Hunter load is built around consistency. Hornady uses clean-burning powders and carefully controlled loading practices to reduce variation between shots. The result is predictable performance whether you’re shooting in cold, heat, or changing elevation.

The Heat Shield tip also plays a role here—it’s designed to resist aerodynamic heating so the bullet maintains its shape and flight characteristics all the way to the target.
