The Hornady ELD-VT 30 Cal (.308) 174 grain bullet is a polymer-tipped, jacketed design intended for varmint hunting and precision long-range shooting. The ELD-VT profile combines a streamlined match-like shape with a reduced core-to-bullet-length ratio to optimize aerodynamic performance. The polymer tip and engineered air-gap are designed to initiate controlled fragmentation at a range of impact velocities while retaining consistent flight characteristics.
