Hornady Precision Hunter 280 Ackley Improved Eld-x 162 Grain 20 Rounds

The Hornady Precision Hunter rifle ammo in 280 Ackley Improved 162 gr ELD-X offers hunters a match-accurate, long-range hunting load from Hornady's Precision Hunter series that merges ballistic efficiency with devastating terminal performance, making it ideal for backcountry elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and long-range mountain hunts. This factory-loaded round uses the ELD-X bullet with the patent-pending Heat Shield tip and Doppler-verified best-in-class BC to maintain aerodynamic shape and velocity out past typical hunting distances, resulting in a 2850 fps muzzle velocity and roughly 2921 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle for reliable downrange performance. Shot-to-shot uniformity from clean-burning propellants and concentric AMP jackets yields tight groups and consistent trajectories, while the thick jacket shank and Interlock ring deliver 50-60% weight retention in high-velocity impacts inside 0—400 yards and 85—90% retention with large-mushroom expansion on lower-velocity impacts beyond 400 yards, translating to deep penetration and large wound channels where it counts. Chambered for 280 Remington Ackley Improved with a brass casing and ORM-D hazardous air classification for shipping, this load suits hunters and precision shooters seeking a versatile, high-BC, expanding bullet for ethical kills at both conventional and extended ranges.
