Best Uses

Zero with a few rounds and hunt with the rest. The CX bullet is built to hold its weight as it expands, and the Superformance powder pushes it fast for a flat path. Use it on deer, pronghorn and hogs where the caliber is legal. Copper bullets are long for their weight, so confirm your rifle groups them. Hornady Superformance 6mm Creedmoor also meets lead-free rules in areas that require them. Save the nickel brass.
