Federal Premium has crazy-high standards for quality. Few other bullet manufacturers can meet them – but when one does, the long-distance hunting world sure does receive one crazy-good .30-06 cartridge.
This round’s bullet is one of the most unfortunate things that can happen – from a deer’s perspective, that is. The ELD-X combines a tough copper jacket and InterLock ring to achieve as much as 90% weight retention following impact at 400+ yards. That helps it conserve the momentum it needs to plunge deeply through the quarry – a matter made no worse for said quarry by the ELD-X’s fast-expanding terminal performance.
The ELD-X is fully equipped to hit very distant marks. Its Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket has essentially zero runout and nearly zero wall thickness variation, as well as a low-drag secant ogive exterior profile. The boat tail bullet additionally features a swaged lead core that balances it even further, plus a Heat Shield tip which is engineered to enhance drag uniformity and decrease dispersion. The grand total? The 0.552 G1 ballistic coefficient that stands for tight groups and heavy long-range stopping power!
