Other hunters’ comfort zone is only your warm up. They better call you “Toll Free,” because you are a *long-distance* shooter.
Federal Premium makes the perfect ammo for taking moose, elk, and smaller game across staggering distances. The magic is all in the ELD-X, which Hornady designed with peak accuracy in mind. The Nebraskan company’s signature low-drag secant ogive bullet geometry? Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, which is essentially devoid of wall thickness variation? Heat Shield polymer tip, which foregoes deformation resulting from aerodynamic friction in favor of keeping its drag-equalizing DVRT flat meplat intact? They’re all driving forces behind the heavyweight bullet’s truly respectable .552 G1 BC, which represents this estimated trajectory upon expulsion from a 24” barrel: 0yds: -1.5” → 200yds: 28.3” → 400yds: 31.5” → 600yds: 0.0” → 800yds: -77.4” → 1000yds: -216.5”.
The ELD-X reliably delivers expansion, even after its velocity dips well below 2,000 fps (which should be around 410 yards in this round’s case). It’s equally well equipped for higher-velocity impact, when its InterLock ring keeps its jacket soundly secured to its lead core.
