Overview

Hornady ELD-V .22 Cal 62 gr (Item #22762) The Ultimate Varmint Eradicator. When prairie dogs stretch across three counties and ground squirrels think they own your pasture, ordinary bullets just annoy them. The Hornady ELD-V 62-grain .224 changes the rules. This isn’t a pretty good varmint bullet; it’s a heat-seeking missile engineered to deliver match-grade accuracy at 400 yards and explosive, fur-flying results the instant it arrives. Built around Hornady’s revolutionary Heat Shield polymer tip, the ELD-V refuses to melt or deform even when pushed past 3,800 fps from hot 22-250s, 223 Rem magnums, or screaming 22 Creedmoors. That perfect meplat produces a stellar G1 BC of .395unheard-of in a lightweight varmint designgiving you laser-flat trajectories, almost no wind drift, and the ability to ring steel at distances most varmint rigs can only dream about. Yet the moment it kisses hide, the thin, precision jacket and tip initiate violent fragmentation that turns coyotes inside out and leaves prairie dogs looking like they swallowed a grenade. Reloaders rave about the AMP jacket concentricity that routinely produces half-MOA groups from AR-15s and bolt guns alike, while the boat-tail and low-drag varmint profile feed flawlessly in magazines and keep velocities screaming. From Texas dog towns to Montana sage flats, the 62 gr ELD-V has become the undisputed champion of long-range pest controldropping rodents on the spot with authority and giving shooters the confidence to take 500-yard headshots without hesitation. One bullet. Any distance. Total annihilation. Load Hornady #22762 and watch the horizon clear, one explosion at a time. ELD-V Extremely Low Drag. Extremely Violent Results. Your fields called. They want their varmints gone. Yesterday.
