Hornady CX .338 Cal / .338 240 Grain 50-Count CX

Hornady CX Features The Hornady CX bullet uses a monolithic copper alloy design meaning the entire projectile is formed from a single piece of material rather than a lead core wrapped in a jacket. This construction prevents the core and jacket from separating on impact which translates into deep penetration and about 95 percent weight retention on large game. Optimum groove geometry cut into the bullet s bearing surface reduces fouling and maximizes aerodynamic performance as the bullet travels down the bore. A .338 caliber diameter of .338 inches makes this bullet compatible with .338 Lapua Magnum and similar big-bore cartridges favored for long-range big game hunting. The Heat Shield tip is made from a heat-resistant polymer that resists the aerodynamic heating a traditional polymer tip can suffer at high velocity helping the bullet retain a consistently high ballistic coefficient of .611 across its flight path. That same tip also creates a precise repeatable meplat for bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot consistency on the reloading bench. Because it is fully lead-free the CX bullet is compatible with California and other regions that require nontraditional ammunition components. This 50-count box of 240 grain CX bullets gives handloaders a dependable option for building rounds aimed at medium to large game.
