The Hornady Precision Hunter 257 Weatherby Magnum ammunition delivers factory-loaded precision and terminal performance built for long-range hunting. Each round is assembled with a 110 grain ELD-X bullet engineered to maximize ballistic efficiency and lethal effect across the full spectrum of practical hunting distances. Hornady's development team has tuned these loads specifically to unlock the ELD-X's capabilities, combining match-grade components with clean-burning propellants charged to uniform specifications. The result is consistent, shot-to-shot accuracy independent of temperature swings—critical when you're closing distance on game in variable field conditions.
The ELD-X bullet is the centerpiece here. Its patented Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic degradation that typically erodes ballistic coefficient at extended ranges, helping the projectile maintain its trajectory and energy downrange. The streamlined secant ogive and optimized boattail design pair with concentrically manufactured AMP jackets to create aerodynamic efficiency that flat-shooting, long-range hunters rely on. At close range (0–400 yards), the ELD-X initiates rapid, reliable expansion with 50–60% weight retention, generating devastating wound channels. At extended range (400+ yards), where impact velocity drops, the Heat Shield tip collapses rearward to trigger expansion at lower impact speeds, delivering a large mushroom with 85–90% weight retention for deep penetration and maximum tissue destruction.
The 257 Weatherby Magnum is a classic, potent cartridge for medium to large game, and these Precision Hunter loads respect that heritage while modernizing terminal ballistics. Whether you're glassing a mountainside at high elevation or working thick timber, this ammunition gives you the accuracy and on-target lethality you've earned through good shooting. Twenty rounds per box.
| Cartridge | 257 Weatherby Magnum |
| Bullet Weight | 110 grains |
| Bullet Type | ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – Expanding) |
| Round Count | 20 rounds per box |
| Manufacturer | Hornady |
This load is purpose-built for hunting medium to large game. The ELD-X bullet's expansion characteristics and weight retention across close and extended ranges make it effective for deer, elk, and similar-sized animals hunted from varied distances.
Yes. Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition is factory-loaded to standard 257 Weatherby Magnum specifications and will function in any rifle chambered for that cartridge. As always, verify your rifle's chamber and consult the firearm manual.
Each box contains 20 rounds.
The patented Heat Shield tip resists the aerodynamic heating and shape degradation that can erode ballistic coefficient at extreme ranges. This maintains the bullet's superior ballistic properties throughout its flight, which is especially valuable for long-distance hunting where trajectory and retained energy matter most.
