Hornady International 8.5x55 Blaser 185GR ECX 20 cartridges

Hornady International 8.5x55 185GR ECX 20 cartridges
The ECX™ bullet (Extreme Copper Alloy eXpanding) from Hornady is the latest development of a monolithic hunting bullet. A solid bullet made from lead-free copper alloy. 95% retained weight with limited deformation allows for very deep penetration even with bone hits. The flat polymer tip helps initiate expansion. By pushing back into the cavity of the bullet, a uniform expansion is created. The grooves on the ECX™ bullet have been optimized to reduce air resistance, resulting in more consistent speed and energy on target. The optimized design offers a stretched trajectory and a high degree of precision. Special attention was paid to European needs during development. Ultimate loadings, ultimate performance. The new ECX bullet (Extreme Copper Alloy eXpanding) is the most advanced monolithic, lead- and fragment-free bullet, specifically designed for European hunters. The optimized design ensures high, reliable precision from a variety of old and new firearms, in the commonly used cartridge chamber and barrel dimensions as well as twist rates in this country. BEST PERFORMANCE FROM ALL FIREARMS. The new Hornady International ammunition line delivers precision and performance from all types of firearms. Loaded with the new lead-free ECX™ (Extreme Copper alloy eXpanding), it is specifically tailored to the cartridge chambers and barrel dimensions of European manufacturers. MASS STABLE DEFORMATION BULLET. The monolithic, lead-free bullet made from a copper alloy (tombak) is designed for very good deep effect with high retained weight, even with bone hits. FLAT POLYMER TIP. The flat plastic tip ensures reliable ignition of the bullet, even at lower speeds. OPTIMAL GROOVE GEOMETRY. The novel relief grooves of the ECX™ bullet improve aerodynamic performance while simultaneously reducing barrel deposits.
