Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition approved for hunting in California?
Yes. The Hornady Outfitter .308 Win 150 GR CX uses a lead-free copper alloy bullet, making it compliant with California's Nonlead Ammunition regulations required for hunting with firearms in the state. Always verify current California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations before your hunt.
What makes the CX bullet different from a standard cup-and-core bullet?
The CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic copper-alloy projectile featuring an engineered polymer tip that initiates rapid, reliable expansion on impact. Unlike traditional cup-and-core designs, the CX retains 95% or more of its weight through the target, delivering deeper penetration and more consistent terminal performance — even through bone and tough hide.
Can I use this ammunition in any standard .308 Winchester rifle?
Yes, Hornady Outfitter .308 Win 150 GR CX is compatible with any standard .308 Winchester chambered rifle. However, because it uses a monolithic copper bullet, some rifles with very tight or custom barrels may see slightly elevated pressures. It's always recommended to consult your firearm's manual and verify compatibility with your specific barrel twist rate for optimal accuracy.
