- Deep penetration with +95% weight retention for reliable terminal performance
- Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and shed moisture in wet conditions
- Sealed primer and case mouth provide complete watertight protection in the field
- Lead-free CX bullet meets California and other non-lead hunting regulations
- 20-round box ideal for hunting seasons where every shot counts
Who This Is For
This load is built for the serious hunter who demands dependability in unpredictable environments — whether you're glassing alpine ridgelines in early archery season, hunting wet coastal ranges, or pushing through the back-forty in foul weather. The .243 Win 80 Gr CX Outfitter load is equally well-suited for deer, pronghorn, and similar medium-sized game, and its lead-free construction makes it fully compliant for hunting in California and other states with non-lead ammunition requirements.

Yes. The Hornady Outfitter .243 Win 80 Gr CX load features a lead-free copper alloy bullet, making it fully compliant with California's non-lead ammunition regulations for hunting on all California Wildlife Management Areas and other restricted zones. Always verify current regulations with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife before your hunt.
What game is the .243 Win 80 Gr CX load best suited for?
This load performs excellently on medium to large-sized thin-skinned game such as whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and wild hogs. The CX bullet's controlled expansion and deep penetration make it effective at both close and extended ranges, delivering clean, ethical kills without over-penetration concerns.
What makes Outfitter ammunition different from standard Hornady hunting loads?
Hornady Outfitter ammunition is specifically engineered for backcountry and adverse-weather hunting. Its key differentiators include a watertight-sealed primer and case mouth, corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass cases, and the lead-free CX bullet — all designed to perform reliably even after exposure to rain, humidity, and rough pack-in conditions where standard ammunition may fail.
