ELEY TENEX Biathlon .22LR 40GR Flat Nose – Qty: 50

ELEY TENEX Biathlon is the ultimate .22LR cartridge for elite winter sport shooters, delivering unmatched performance in freezing temperatures. Specifically designed for biathlon, this ammunition integrates over 180 years of ELEY innovation with the needs of today’s most competitive athletes. Each cartridge is precision-engineered for reliability, accuracy, and consistency in the most challenging environments.

Precision Engineered for Biathlon Performance

Launched in 2012, ELEY TENEX Biathlon was developed through an in-depth study of biathlon athletes, their rifles, and the demands of cold-weather competition. Built on the proven ELEY TENEX platform, this cartridge redefines sub-zero shooting with purpose-built enhancements.

The standout feature of this round is ELEY’s patented flat nose projectile, a signature innovation that stabilizes flight by pulling the center of pressure forward. This improves aerodynamic balance and results in tighter groupings and pinpoint accuracy downrange—crucial for biathlon athletes where every shot matters.

Built to Perform in Sub-Zero Temperatures

Cold environments can negatively impact ammo performance, but not with ELEY TENEX Biathlon. The cartridge features a reduced diameter to ensure smooth chambering and reliable cycling in both bolt-action and straight-pull biathlon rifles. Additionally, it uses a special biathlon-specific lubricant that maintains consistency in freezing temperatures while minimizing barrel wear over time.

For increased effectiveness on biathlon targets, ELEY has enhanced the propellant charge, delivering higher terminal energy and greater knockdown force—ensuring your shots have the power and precision to make an impact, no matter the weather.
