Description

Hornady Precision Hunter .280 Ackley Improved 162-grain ELD-X polymer-tipped ammunition is built for hunters and long-range shooters who prioritize ballistic efficiency and reliable terminal performance. The Precision Hunter load uses the ELD-X design and a Heat Shield tip to preserve a high ballistic coefficient throughout the trajectory. Ideal for medium-game hunting and extended-range field use, these factory loads deliver consistent velocity and controlled expansion.
