The Hornady 2826 ELD-X hunting bullet in 7mm .284 diameter, 150 grains, delivers match-grade accuracy and controlled expansion across the full spectrum of practical hunting ranges—from close-quarters work to extended shots beyond 400 yards. Built on Hornady's Extremely Low Drag-eXpanding design, these component bullets combine a high ballistic coefficient with a heat-resistant polymer tip that holds its shape through the aerodynamic stress of high-velocity flight, preserving accuracy where conventional polymer-tipped bullets degrade.
The engineering here solves a real problem: traditional bullet tips in streamlined, high-BC designs can melt or deform during flight, especially past 400 yards, degrading ballistic performance and accuracy. Hornady's proprietary Heat Shield tip resists that thermal damage, maintaining a consistent meplat (tip profile) bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot. At conventional ranges, the thin nose section initiates expansion and sheds material until the InterLock ring—seated in the thick jacket shank—anchors the core and jacket together, driving deep penetration. At extended range and lower velocities, the Heat Shield tip collapses rearward into a nose cavity to trigger expansion, resulting in a large mushroom and high retained weight for deep penetration and lethal wound cavities.
These are component bullets for handloaders: if you're building custom rifle ammunition in 7mm and demand the ballistic efficiency and range-tested expansion dynamics of a premium hunting projectile, the ELD-X 150-grain rounds out a serious long-range or all-purpose hunting load. Pair them with your preferred case, primer, and powder for accuracy and terminal performance tailored to your rifle and hunting application.

The Heat Shield is Hornady's proprietary heat-resistant polymer tip designed to withstand aerodynamic heating during flight. Conventional polymer tips in high-ballistic-coefficient bullets can melt or deform, especially beyond 400 yards, degrading accuracy. The Heat Shield maintains a consistent tip profile throughout flight, preserving the bullet's ballistic coefficient and accuracy at extended ranges.
At conventional hunting ranges (0–400 yards), the thin nose section peels back and sheds material until reaching the thick jacket shank, where the InterLock ring anchors the core. The shank continues to expand for lethal penetration. At extended range (400+ yards) and lower velocities, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the nose cavity to initiate expansion, resulting in a large mushroom and high retained weight for deep penetration.
These are component bullets for handloaders. You will need to pair them with a 7mm rifle case, primer, and powder to create finished ammunition.
The 150-grain ELD-X in 7mm is designed for all-range hunting where controlled expansion and deep penetration matter, from moderate distances to extended-range shots. The high ballistic coefficient and expansion characteristics make it suitable for medium to large game and long-range hunting applications.
