Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hornady CX bullet a lead-free projectile?
Yes. The Hornady CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic, lead-free design made entirely from a copper alloy. It is compliant for use in areas where lead projectiles are restricted, including many hunting zones in California under California's Nonlead Ammunition regulations.
What game animals is the 7mm PRC 160gr CX load suitable for?
This load is well-suited for medium to large North American big game, including elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, black bear, and pronghorn. The CX bullet's controlled expansion and 95%+ weight retention ensure deep penetration and large wound channels, making it a reliable choice for ethical harvests on heavily built animals at distances exceeding 400 yards.
Which rifles and twist rates are compatible with this ammunition?
Hornady recommends a minimum barrel twist rate of 1:8 to properly stabilize the 160-grain CX projectile. Most modern 7mm PRC factory rifles — including offerings from Ruger, Bergara, Christensen Arms, and others — are chambered and barreled to meet or exceed this specification, making them fully compatible with this load right out of the box.
