Overview
Built for hunters who want a single bullet option across a wide range of distances, this .338 caliber 230 grain ELD-X is designed around controlled expansion and match-level accuracy. Its high ballistic coefficient supports efficient flight, while the expanding design is intended for practical hunting ranges rather than a narrow distance window. The 100-count package suits shooters who want a consistent supply for load development and field use. A minimum 1-12" twist rate is required, so it is important to confirm rifle compatibility before use.

- This is a specialized .338 caliber 230 gr hunting bullet, so it is only suitable for rifles chambered and configured for that application.
- The product description emphasizes controlled expansion and long-range use, but it does not provide load data or specific performance results for individual rifles.
