Hornady's 6mm .243 103 gr ELD-X bullet is engineered for match accuracy and effective expansion across all practical hunting distances. Featuring a Heat Shield® tip, it maintains its shape to provide high ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion, ensuring lethality whether shooting near or far. The streamlined secant ogive and optimized boattail design, combined with a highly concentric AMP® bullet jacket, deliver superior aerodynamic efficiency. The thick shank of the jacket and InterLock® ring keep the core and jacket together, providing 50-60% weight retention upon high-velocity impacts up to 400 yards. For low-velocity impacts past 400 yards, the Heat Shield® tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion, resulting in 85-90% weight retention and deep penetration with large wound cavities.
