Achieving Precision at Any Distance in Alaskan Hunting

Utilizing advanced Doppler radar and cutting-edge aeroballistics software, engineers have identified that traditional polymer tips in high-ballistic-coefficient bullets can melt during flight. While this phenomenon does not significantly impact moderate-ballistic-coefficient conventional-tipped varmint and hunting bullets, aerodynamic heating can lead to a reduction in ballistic coefficient and accuracy, particularly at distances exceeding 400 yards. To address this challenge, a heat-resistant polymer has been developed, resulting in the innovative Heat Shield™ tip. This groundbreaking design ensures a perfectly formed meplat (tip) that delivers remarkably consistent performance across different bullets and production lots.

The ELD-X™ and ELD™ Match (Extremely Low Drag) bullets integrate the patent-pending Heat Shield tip with a streamlined secant ogive and optimal boattail design. These bullets are finished with the highly concentric AMP® bullet jacket, recognized as the most consistently concentric jacket available. The ballistic coefficient has been verified using Doppler radar and adjusted for standard atmospheric conditions. The outcome is unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency and long-range consistency, setting these polymer-tipped bullets apart from competitors.
