The Hornady ELD-X .224 80gr Precision Hunting Bullets deliver match-grade accuracy and controlled expansion across a full range of hunting distances. These .224 caliber bullets are engineered for handloaders who demand precision ammunition that performs equally well at close range and extended yardages—the hallmark of a true all-range hunting round. With 100 rounds per box, you get a practical quantity for developing loads or stocking up for the season.
The ELD-X platform combines several design innovations to achieve exceptional performance. The Heat Shield tip is aerodynamically optimized and resistant to heating effects during flight, helping maintain the bullet's ballistic coefficient from muzzle to target. The streamlined secant ogive and boattail design work together with Hornady's highly concentric AMP jackets to deliver the aerodynamic efficiency that serious long-range hunters expect. At conventional hunting distances (0–400 yards), these bullets expand aggressively while retaining 50–60% of their original weight, anchoring game with decisive energy. For longer shots beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield tip collapses rearward to initiate expansion at lower velocities, producing a wide mushroom and 85–90% weight retention for deep penetration and substantial wound channels.
Handloaders appreciate ELD-X bullets for their consistent, concentric construction—tight tolerances mean predictable velocity spreads and repeatable accuracy. The InterLock ring keeps core and jacket bonded throughout expansion, reducing the risk of bullet failure in the field. Whether you're working up loads for varmint-sized game at short range or planning a backcountry hunt where shots may stretch to longer distances, the 80-grain ELD-X in .224 caliber offers the ballistic engineering to get the job done.
| Caliber | .224 (22 caliber) |
| Weight | 80 grains |
| Quantity | 100 count |
| Bullet Type | ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) |
| Part Number | 22833 |
The .224 80-grain ELD-X is designed for .224 diameter rifle cartridges. Common applications include .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and other .224 caliber rifle rounds. Always verify that your specific cartridge and rifle are suitable for your intended use before loading.
Yes. The ELD-X platform is engineered for match-grade accuracy, with concentric AMP jackets and a Heat Shield tip designed to maintain ballistic coefficient throughout flight. These characteristics support precision at distance.
At close to moderate range (0–400 yards), the ELD-X expands consistently with 50–60% weight retention. Beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield tip collapses rearward to initiate expansion at lower impact velocities, delivering 85–90% weight retention and deep penetration.
Each box contains 100 Hornady ELD-X .224 80-grain bullets ready for handloading.
