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, meaning it contains no lead core. This construction allows it to retain over 95% of its weight on impact, penetrate deeply through bone and muscle, and expand uniformly even at a wide range of velocities. Unlike traditional cup-and-core bullets, the CX is less prone to fragmentation, making it an excellent choice for large and dangerous game where deep, reliable penetration is critical.
What firearms are chambered in 375 Ruger, and is this ammo compatible with them?
The 375 Ruger cartridge was developed by Hornady and Ruger and is primarily chambered in Ruger Hawkeye African and Alaskan rifles, as well as several other bolt-action rifles designed for dangerous game hunting. This Hornady Outfitter load is fully compatible with any rifle chambered in 375 Ruger. Always verify your rifle's chamber specifications and consult your owner's manual before using any ammunition.
How should I store Hornady Outfitter ammunition when not in use?
While Hornady Outfitter ammunition features sealed primers and case mouths for field-ready moisture resistance, proper long-term storage still matters. Store your ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. A locked, climate-controlled safe or ammo can with desiccant packs is ideal. The nickel-plated cases also offer additional corrosion resistance compared to standard brass, giving you added peace of mind during extended storage.
