Hornady® Precision Hunter® .300 Ruger Compact Magnum 178gr ELD-X ammo features Hornady’s boattail Extremely Low-Draw-eXpanding bullet (ELD-X) for dependable ignition, super-flat trajectories, and smooth operation in virtually any hunting environment and premium brass casings loaded with clean-burning powders and propellants paired with premium components. Hornady’s Heat Shield® tip helps defy the effects of aerodynamic heating and allows the bullet to retain its shape over its entire trajectory for enhanced accuracy, superior weight retention, and devastating terminal performance. In low-velocity, long-range applications, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate large mushroom expansion with up to 90% weight retention for lethal penetration and devastating expansion.  Upon close-range impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path with up to 60% weight retention. Made in USA.
