Product Description
Hornady .284 ECX Bullets 150gr / 9.7g – Lead-Free Expanding Bullet
The Hornady ECX (Extremely Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet in .284 caliber meets all the requirements for hunting European game species. As a monolithic, lead-free expanding bullet, it delivers consistent expansion, excellent penetration, and a high retained weight of approx. 90%. The flat, heat-resistant polymer tip ensures reliable triggering and makes the ECX an ideal choice for hunting light to heavy game.
Key Advantages
-
Lead-free, non-fragmenting expanding bullet made of copper alloy
-
High retained weight (~90%) for reliable exit wounds
-
Flat Heat Shield® polymer tip for consistent expansion
-
Optimized groove geometry for reduced barrel fouling and improved trajectory
-
Consistent expansion even at lower velocities
- Suitable for all native game species
Optimized Groove Geometry
The innovative groove design reduces surface contact, minimizes barrel fouling, and improves aerodynamic performance. This makes the ECX bullet highly accurate even in older firearms with slower twist rates or slightly worn barrels – an important feature for many common European chamberings.
Stable and Non-Fragmenting
The tombac construction guarantees stable mass retention on impact, even with bone hits. The ECX bullet keeps its shape, ensures reliable exit wounds, and delivers energy effectively into the target. It remains intact and fully complies with legal requirements for lead-free hunting bullets.
