For large game including sambar, red deer and scrub bulls, the 178 gr ELD-X projectile in 30 calibre from Hornady is a hunting projectile worth a look. It measures .308" in diameter with a G1 ballistic coefficient of .552 (G7 .278), and it suits hunters who want one bullet that expands reliably from close range out to long range.
ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) is a match-accurate hunting bullet. Its Heat Shield tip is immune to aerodynamic heating, so it keeps its shape and its class-leading, Doppler-verified ballistic coefficient over the whole trajectory. At high-velocity impacts inside 400 yards the bullet expands continuously along its penetration path while a thick jacket shank and high InterLock ring hold core and jacket together for 50 to 60 percent weight retention. At lower-velocity impacts beyond 400 yards the tip drives back into the bullet to start expansion.
