Black Hills makes just the ammo for the job. This is the South Dakotan operation’s Gold label ammo – the best of the best, by the same company which loads match 5.56 for the U.S. Armed Forces’ snipers.
Black Hills loaded this round out with a 200 grain ELD-X. Is it balanced? Sure is. The bullet’s highly concentric Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket and voidless lead core preserve rotational stability at all ranges. Is it aerodynamic? Sure is. Hornady’s Heat Shield tip presents the perfect meplat downrange regardless of how brutally it is cooked by air friction.
But here’s the $10,000 question: Is the ELD-X deadly? Brother, is it ever. At close range, the ELD-X’s InterLock ring ensures no less than 50% weight retention. That keeps it whole enough to keep pressing into the quarry. Weight retention past 400 yards is closer to 85-90%. And wherever your quarry stands, you can trust the ELD-X’s Heat Shield to let out the massive expansion which ends a hunt in a heartbeat.
