This match-accurate, hard-hitting hunting bullet stands apart thanks to an extremely high ballistic coefficient and a design that provides dynamic expansion at a wide range of velocities. It features a unique polymer tip that resists deformation to achieve consistent ballistics and initiate extreme-range expansion, as well as a concentric copper jacket and robust shank.
Extremely high ballistic coefficient
Polymer tip resists deformation and initiates expansion
Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield 178gr Hornady ELD-X 20/Boxfeatures Hornady’s ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) bullet (projectile) which is a technologically advanced, match accurate, all-range hunting bullet featuring a high ballistic coefficient (BC) and consistent, controlled expansion at practical hunting distances. Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape over its entire trajectory. The streamlined secant ogive with optimum boat tail design plus highly concentric AMP bullet jackets and Heat Shield tip combines for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency. ELD-X delivers devastating range performance for conventional and extended ranges. Exhibiting conventional expansion with large mushrooms and 85-90 percent retained weight the bullet provides deep penetration and large wound channels for quick humane kills. This ammunition is built for hunting medium sized game (50 to 300 lbs) including whitetail deer, and for hunting large sized game (300 to 1500 lbs) including elk, moose, and black bear. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, boxer primed, in reloadable brass cases.
The best load in waterfowl hunting has never been so deadly. Black Cloud® FS Steel® is now equipped with the FLITECONTROL FLEX® wad to deliver improved pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. The wad’s redesigned rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents stimulate the payload for separation from the wad at the ideal moment for dense, deadly patterns. Plus, the high-performance primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant significantly decrease residue in the barrel.
Surgical accuracy. Terminal results. Trophy Bonded® Tip combines bonded construction and a bone-crushing solid copper shank with a boat-tail design and polymer tip that tighten groups. The resulting toughness and accuracy make it a perfect choice for the full spectrum of medium and big game at any practical range.
Robust bonding maximizes weight retention
High-performance polymer tip for flat trajectory, better accuracy and more energy
Exterior skiving for optimum expansion
Solid shank for bone-crushing penetration
Gold Medal® primer
Nickel plated for easy extraction and corrosion protection
Specially formulated propellant with copper-reducing additives
We’ve brought back the immensely popular Barnes® Triple-Shock® X. This proven all-copper hollow point groups tightly at long range and delivers consistent, large-diameter expansion. The monolithic design retains nearly 100 percent of its weight on impact to penetrate deep, and its grooved shank minimizes barrel fouling and improves accuracy.
Long distances, stiff breezes and tough predators are no match for the Nosler® Ballistic Tip® Varmint. The bullet’s thin jacket produces violent energy release and minimal penetration, while its boat-tail design and polymer tip produce less bullet drop and wind drift.
Make your lever gun run like never before with the industry’s only ammunition truly designed for optimal cycling and overall performance from the time-tested rifle platform. Velocities of Federal Premium® HammerDown™ loads are customized to produce superior ballistics and terminal performance through lever-action barrel lengths. The construction of the molecularly bonded soft point bullets has also been adjusted for the best accuracy and expansion at those velocities. The geometry of each round’s case, bullet and cartridge ensures flawless cycling through tubular magazine and typical lever-action feeding systems.
The most sought-after bullets among competitors on the Precision Rifle Series are now loaded into the industry’s most trusted factory rifle ammunition. Gold Medal® Berger® loads feature an advanced boat-tail bullet with a high ballistic coefficient to provide the flattest trajectories, less wind drift and surgical long-range accuracy. The loads use Gold Medal match primers, Federal® brass and specially formulated propellant, and they adhere to Federal Premium’s strictest specifications for accuracy, pressure and velocity.
Long range isn’t just a distance. It’s a state of mind. A dedication to push further. And it’s why Federal Premium® builds Gold Medal® rifle loads. The exclusive primer design provides the best sensitivity and most consistent ballistics in the industry. The precision-built Sierra® MatchKing® bullet is shot to win more matches than any other rifle bullet. It’s the only choice for the world’s most elite shooters.
Experience a cleaner way to shoot. The exclusive polymer coating in Syntech® range ammunition prevents harsh metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and bore, eliminating copper and lead fouling. Combined with clean-burning powders and the Catalyst™ lead-free primer, Syntech loads keep your gun cleaner, longer, so you can shoot more—and shoot better.
Polymer-encapsulated Syntech® bullet prevents metal-on-metal contact in the bore, eliminating copper and lead fouling, while extending barrel life
Exclusive lead-free primer formulation provides the most reliable, consistent ignition
Clean-burning propellants minimize residue and fouling
Significantly reduces the required frequency of cleaning
Absence of a copper jacket minimizes splash-back on steel targets
