Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CX bullet different from a standard cup-and-core bullet?
The Hornady CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic copper-alloy projectile designed for deep, straight-line penetration and controlled expansion across a wide range of velocities. Unlike traditional cup-and-core bullets, the CX retains over 95% of its original weight after impact, ensuring maximum energy transfer and reliable expansion — even at longer ranges where velocity has dropped. Its grooved shank design also reduces fouling and bore pressure compared to other solid copper bullets.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting in California or other lead-free zones?
Yes. The Hornady Outfitter CX is constructed with a lead-free copper-alloy bullet, making it fully compliant with California's Condor Zone regulations and other areas that require non-toxic, lead-free hunting ammunition. This makes it an excellent choice for hunters in California and other states with similar restrictions without sacrificing terminal performance.
What game animals is the .270 Win 130 gr CX best suited for?
The .270 Winchester with a 130-grain CX bullet is an outstanding choice for medium-to-large North American big game, including whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, black bear, and even elk at reasonable distances. The combination of high velocity, controlled expansion, and deep penetration makes it effective for both close-range shots in dense cover and longer shots in open terrain.
