FAQ

Is 150 grain copper good for deer?
Yes. A 150-grain copper bullet like the CX holds its weight and often exits, which works well on deer and pronghorn.

Why use sealed ammo?
Sealed cases help keep water and moisture from reaching the powder and primer. That matters on long hunts in wet or snowy weather.

How fast is a 30-06 bullet?
This 150-grain Outfitter load is listed at 3,000 fps from a 24-inch test barrel. Shorter barrels usually give less speed.

What is lead free ammo?
It is ammo with bullets that contain no lead. The Hornady CX bullet in this load is made of copper alloy.
