Frequently Asked Questions
What big game animals is the 308 Win 165 gr CX load suitable for?
The 165 gr CX bullet in 308 Winchester is an excellent all-around big game load for deer, pronghorn, black bear, elk, and wild boar at typical hunting distances. The controlled expansion and deep penetration of the CX bullet ensure reliable energy transfer on both light and heavy game animals, making it a versatile choice for hunters pursuing a variety of species in a single season.
Is this ammunition legal for hunting in California and other lead-restricted zones?
Yes. The Hornady CX bullet is a 100% lead-free, copper alloy projectile, making this ammunition compliant for use in California and any other jurisdiction that mandates non-lead hunting ammunition. Always verify current regulations with your state or local wildlife agency before heading afield.
Will the watertight seal affect reliability or accuracy?
Not at all. Hornady's sealed primer and case mouth are designed to protect the powder charge and primer from moisture ingress without affecting ignition reliability or downrange accuracy. The seals are standard manufacturing features of the Outfitter line, so rounds feed, fire, and perform exactly as expected even after exposure to wet conditions.
