In the realm of hunting ammunition, precision and performance are paramount. Enter the Hornady CX™ (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet—an epitome of advanced engineering in monolithic hunting projectiles. This is not just another bullet; it represents a leap forward in ballistic design.
At its core, the CX™ is crafted from a single piece of copper alloy, ensuring that it remains intact upon impact. The result? Devastating terminal performance with deep penetration and an impressive 95% weight retention. Such characteristics make it particularly effective for those pursuing game where reliability cannot be compromised.
A standout feature of this bullet is its Heat Shield® Tip, constructed from heat-resistant polymer to withstand aerodynamic heating. This ensures a consistent high ballistic coefficient throughout its flight path, enhancing both range and accuracy. The tip also maintains an impeccable meplat—or point—ensuring uniformity from one round to the next.
To further enhance aerodynamics while minimizing fouling and bearing surface drag, Hornady has incorporated optimum groove geometry into the CX™ design. These grooves are meticulously engineered to maximize flight stability without sacrificing cleanliness or ease of use within your firearm's barrel.
For hunters navigating regulations on nontraditional ammunition types, especially in places like California where lead bullets may be restricted, the Hornady CX™ offers compliance without compromise. It stands as a versatile option suitable for everything ranging from medium-sized targets to large game animals.
With such attributes at hand—the combination of cutting-edge materials science and thoughtful design—the Hornady CX™ embodies what every serious hunter demands: excellence downrange.
