Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor 143gr ELD-X

Hornady Precision Hunter® 6.5 Creedmoor 143 Grain ELD-X® ammunition is engineered to deliver exceptional long-range accuracy, consistency, and devastating terminal performance for serious hunters. Loaded with Hornady’s advanced ELD-X® (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet, this ammunition is designed to maximize ballistic efficiency while providing reliable expansion and deep penetration across a wide range of hunting distances.

The 143 Grain ELD-X® bullet features Hornady’s patented Heat Shield® tip, specifically designed to resist deformation caused by aerodynamic heating during flight. Unlike conventional polymer tips that can soften and lose shape at extended distances, the Heat Shield® tip maintains a perfectly consistent meplat, preserving ballistic coefficient and enhancing downrange accuracy.

Combined with a streamlined secant ogive profile, optimized boattail design, and highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets, the ELD-X® bullet delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, reduced wind drift, and match-grade precision.

Terminal performance is equally impressive at both conventional and extended hunting ranges. At higher impact velocities, the ELD-X® bullet provides rapid expansion and tremendous energy transfer, while the InterLock® ring and thick rear jacket shank help retain weight for deep penetration. At extended distances where impact velocities are lower, the Heat Shield® tip initiates controlled expansion for large wound cavities and dependable terminal performance.
