The Hornady Precision Hunter Rifle Ammo in 28 Nosler with the 162 gr ELD-X bullet delivers long-range hunting performance you can rely on, and it's easy to explain why hunters favor this load: the ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag-eXpanding) projectile pairs a high ballistic coefficient verified by Doppler radar with Hornady's Heat Shield tip to retain downrange accuracy and consistent expansion at extended distances, producing a muzzle velocity around 3,175 fps and muzzle energy near 3,626 ftlbs for flat trajectories and deep terminal performance on big game. As part of Hornady's Precision Hunter series, this 20-round offering uses reliable brass casings and is aimed at serious stalkers and long-range hunters who need repeatable impacts from field shots to extended-range opportunities, whether chasing elk, mule deer, or other western big game where the 28 Nosler's high-velocity, heavy-for-caliber 162 gr bullet shines. You'll appreciate the combination of long-range external ballistics and controlled expansion that reduces follow-up uncertainty and increases ethical shot outcomes, and the load's attributes make it suitable for mountain hunts, prairie work, and guided trips where heavy hits and retained energy matter. For shooters searching for Hornady 28 Nosler hunting ammo, Precision Hunter 162 gr ELD-X checks the boxes for accuracy, downrange performance, and terminal effectiveness.
