Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CX bullet different from standard hunting bullets?
The Hornady CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic copper-alloy projectile that eliminates the lead core found in traditional hunting bullets. Its design features a grooved shank to reduce fouling and a polymer tip that initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact. The result is 95%+ weight retention, deep straight-line penetration, and devastating terminal performance — even at longer ranges or after passing through bone.
Is this ammunition suitable for long-range hunting shots?
Yes. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is renowned for its exceptional ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory, making it one of the best long-range hunting calibers available. The 120 grain CX load maintains supersonic velocity and sufficient energy well past 400 yards, making it a strong choice for open-country hunting where longer shots may be required. Always confirm your zero and know your ballistics at distance before hunting.
Why choose Outfitter ammunition over other Hornady hunting lines?
Hornady's Outfitter line is specifically designed for field conditions where moisture, dirt, and rough handling are unavoidable. The sealed primer and case mouth make these rounds genuinely watertight, meaning a dunking in a stream or a day in the rain won't compromise your ammunition's performance. If you're hunting in the backcountry, on multi-day pack trips, or in any wet environment, Outfitter provides the extra margin of reliability that standard hunting ammunition cannot guarantee.
