Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CX bullet different from Hornady's other hunting bullets?
The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic design machined from a copper alloy rather than a lead-core construction. It features a polymer tip that initiates expansion reliably at a wide range of impact velocities, while the solid shank retains near 100% of its weight for deep, straight-line penetration — making it ideal for large or tough-boned game where pass-through performance matters.
Is this Superformance ammunition compatible with standard .308 Winchester rifles?
Yes. Hornady Superformance ammunition is loaded to SAAMI-spec chamber pressures, so it is safe to use in any standard .308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO compatible) bolt-action, semi-automatic, or lever-action rifle. No modifications are required, and you'll experience the same felt recoil as conventional .308 loads despite the higher velocity.
How does temperature affect the performance of this ammunition?
Hornady's Superformance propellant blend is engineered for broad temperature stability, maintaining consistent velocity and pressure across a wide range of conditions — from sub-zero hunting environments to hot summer range sessions. This means your zero holds and your point of impact stays predictable no matter the weather, which is critical for ethical hunting shots at distance.
