Key Features
ELD-X hunting bullet Polymer-tipped, streamlined bullet design is intended to support flatter trajectories and controlled expansion across a broad impact-velocity range.

InterLock-style core retention Jacket-and-core retention features are intended to help maintain bullet integrity during expansion and penetration.
Temperature-tolerant loading approach Powder selection and charge consistency are intended to reduce performance swings across changing ambient temperatures.
Brass, Boxer-primed cases Reloadable brass cases with standard primers support conventional extraction and reloading workflows.
