Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hornady CX bullet legal for hunting in California?
Yes. The CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is a lead-free projectile, making it fully compliant with California's non-toxic ammunition regulations that apply to all hunting on California lands. This makes Hornady Outfitter 90-Grain CX an ideal choice for California big-game hunters without sacrificing terminal performance.
What kind of game is the 257 Weatherby Magnum 90-Grain CX suitable for?
The 257 Weatherby Magnum loaded with a 90-grain CX bullet is an excellent choice for medium to large big-game animals including deer, pronghorn, blacktail, and even smaller elk at appropriate ranges. The CX bullet's controlled expansion and deep penetration characteristics make it effective on a wide variety of North American game species.
What makes Outfitter ammunition different from other Hornady hunting lines?
Hornady Outfitter ammunition is specifically engineered for extreme field conditions. Unlike standard hunting loads, Outfitter rounds feature nickel-plated brass cases with sealed primers and case mouths to create a watertight seal — protecting powder and primer integrity when exposed to rain, river crossings, or heavy condensation. Combined with the lead-free CX bullet's proven terminal performance, it's the go-to choice when conditions are unpredictable and second chances aren't an option.
